Hi,

I've downloaded and compiled the latest svn PF_RING and snort (2.9.6.0).

pf_ring kernel module loaded (ransparent_mode=0 min_num_slots=32768 
enable_tx_capture=0)

$ cat /proc/net/pf_ring/info
PF_RING Version          : 5.6.3 ($Revision: exported$)
Total rings              : 2

Standard (non DNA) Options
Ring slots               : 32768
Slot version             : 15
Capture TX               : No [RX only]
IP Defragment            : No
Socket Mode              : Standard
Transparent mode         : Yes [mode 0]
Total plugins            : 0
Cluster Fragment Queue   : 0
Cluster Fragment Discard : 0


 and snort executed as follows (no rules):-

# /usr/local/bin/snort  -A console --daq-dir=/usr/local/lib/daq --daq pfring  
--daq-var fast-tx=1 --daq-var clusterid=10,11 --daq-var bindcpu=3 -i eth8:eth9 
-Q

I have one host connected on eth8 and one on eth9. When I ping one host from 
the other, I see the packet header in the console and the ICMP replies are 
received, however the RTTs are over 1000ms. ssh or ftp across the link is 
unusable.

By comparison, if I use afpacket daq, performance is excellent.

On a side note, if I invoke another instance of snort using pf_ring, I do not 
see a load balance of packets either.

Anyone have similar problems? I'm thinking of trying ubuntu 13.10 to see if it 
makes any difference.
