Hi, Since we use pf_ring for packet capturing on our IDS the sys cpu load is quite high. On my test system I managed it to push it to around 80% sys with a simple ssh session. On our production system, the system load always hangs on 100%, however capturing is performing very well, there is nearly no packet loss even on the system with 7 dedicated NICs, so is the high load just normal and I don't need to worry about this?
/proc/net/pfring/info: PF_RING Version : 4.6.0 ($Revision: 4513$) Ring slots : 4096 Slot version : 12 Capture TX : No [RX only] IP Defragment : No Transparent mode : No (mode 2) Total rings : 13 Total plugins : 0 our nic driver: e1000e, pfring-modified version regards, Florian Feucht
