do you really need all those sockets, it looks like a bad design choice.

Hi Rahul
you should increase MAX_NUM_RING_SOCKETS in kernel/linux/pf_ring.h,
currently it is set to 128.

Hi,
we are using pfring to capture multicast packets. We are not using DNA or ZC
drivers as our NIC does not support the same.We are using Broadcom Netxtreme
BCM5721 NIC. If I use pfring_open more than 64 times, i.e pfring_open is
called for 64 different multicast streams, then it returns a NULL. Is there any
limit to pfring handles? If there is a limit, how can I increase it?
Thanks

Rahul

Hi,
We have increased the limit of MAX_NUM_RING_SOCKETS to 128 from 64. Now, after
opening 50 handles and more we are observing packet drops. Is there any other
variable that need to be handle to capture all the packets?
Thank you
Regards,
K Rahul

Hi,
Let me explain you the use of pfring in our module. We are using pfring
to capture mpeg2ts streams over multicast. We can have multiple
multicast streams joined and each one of these streams uses one pfring
handle. Thus as per our current design, if we need to capture 100
multicast streams, we will require 100 pfring sockets, each with a
specific bpf filter like "udp and dst port 9999 and src host
(172.16.0.10) and dst host 239.99.99.99".
The reason for choosing such a model is that our module can join or
leave multicast streams in runtime.For ex, if we are capturing a
multicast stream, we set the bpf filter specific to the stream. Now, in
case we need to capture another multicast stream using the same pfring
handle, we will need to modify the bpf filter at runtime. As per our
current understanding, this is not feasible. Thus, we decided to use one
pfring socket per multicast stream.
It would be very helpful if you can suggest any alternative approach.
Thank you
Regards,
K Rahul
