After having the mirroring port on our core switch take down our core switch
I moved our ntop box to a switch that is outside our firewall that sees
allot less traffic.  The switch is doing fine but I am still having a
problem with libpcap dropping packets.  When the box was on our core switch
I say libpcap dropping roughly 80% of the packets, now I am seeing roughly
50% of the packets being dropped.  I know this isn't necessarily a problem
with ntop but I was wondering if anyone on the list might have any
recommendation on getting libpcap's drop ratio down.  Thanks in advance for
any help.

 

Here are the system specs:

Dell GL250:

2.5 GHZ Pentium III

512 megs of ram

 

OS:  Freebsd 5.2.1

 

Nic:  Intell 10/100 (running at 100FullDuplex)
