Hi!, I'm new to the list, and this is my first post:
 
I'm using ntop 3.2 on a dual opteron with a GbE card and 2GB of memory.
Is monitoring a GbE port connected to our provider's router. Measured
traffic is about 150Mbps. I'm using SPAN (is a Cisco switch) to mirror
the traffic from that port to the one in which the opteron is connected.
The OS is Debian GNU/Linux Sarge.
 
So, my question is: given that scenary, is it normal to get between 60
to 120% of dropped packets from libpcap stats? Ntop by itself has 0% of
drops, but I think excessive the low performance of libpcap with this
machine.
 
Or maybe am I misinterpreting the data?
 
Thank you,
 
Eladio Pérez Nieto
