tshark or dumpcap ring buffer limitations

[Joseph Laibach <jlaibach () schonfeld com>]

All,
                I'm running a continuous capture of data. I'm trying to use a ring buffer of 25000 files with an 8mb 
file size. The problem is that the ring buffer starts overwriting after 10000 files. I've tried it with dumpcap and 
tshark. The command is using the -b files:25000 -b filesize:8192. Is there a limitation to the size of the ring buffer 
for dumpcap and/or tshark?

Thanks

Joe
