it's hard to give you a definitive answer. One of the reference tests I do is 
the following
- Core2Duo 1.86 GHz PC, 2 GB RAM
- PF_RING 4.6.x
- Intel 1G adapter with PF_RING-aware driver (no TNAPI)
- Ixia injecting 200k flows simultaneously (64 bytes packets)
So this is a "stationary" situation where no new flows are crated, but traffic just comes for the existing flows, correct?
thanks,
Maurizio
- nprobe 6.3.x (nprobe -O 1 -i ethX, no other flags, netFlow v5)

nprobe can handle with no loss, converting packets to NetFlow, ~ 1.12 Mpps 
(incoming traffic rate with no packet drops)

Hi,
has anybody on this list performed stress tests with nprobe? (for the time 
being, I'm interested in testing the netflow exporting capability only).
If yes, I'd appreciate information about:
- the scenario you used for generating the load (HW, SW)
- what (if anything) "put in trouble" nprobe (packet load? flow load? weird TCP 
traffic like half-open connections, protocol used to export NetFlow packets, etc.)
- performance figures (if available)

Thanks,
Maurizio Molina
