Hello Pavel,

 I'm not sure what do you mean but here is the output of to during run:

top - 16:58:48 up  2:27,  8 users,  load average: 0.25, 0.59, 0.81

I just realized that if I use pfring_stats  when I receive the whole 5000
packet the number of drops is 0 and when I don't receive all of them the
number of drops in the stats is around 2000-3000.
