Try not to run the dev releases unless you must, who knows what condition they're in at any given time.
Do you think it's actually dropping packets, just the decimal is off by 3 (or more) places? Or, is this bug just in the way the stats are collected and displayed and there is no significant packet loss? ----- Original Message ----- From: [email protected] <[email protected]> To: [email protected] <[email protected]> Sent: Wed Aug 12 08:48:59 2009 Subject: [Ntop] Libpcap counter issue? I have small issue with Ntop 3.3.11-dev that I wonder if anyone else sees. Basically at some point the Libpcap Dropped Packet counter starts to go crazy increamenting way to fast, basically the more you refresh the page the higher the stats go. I noticed it a few weeks ago when I was troubleshooting the stability issues on Centos 5.3 but it didn't come back until now. This instance of Ntop has been up for 17-18days now when suddenly the dropped back went from 2% up and up.... Here is a little example with the time I hit refresh 6:54 Dropped (libpcap) 35.2% 2,104,631,637 6:57 Dropped (libpcap) 40.4% 2,413,942,059 8:40 Dropped (libpcap) 45.4% 2,735,237,999 8:42 Dropped (libpcap) 50.7% 3,057,525,920 I let it be until the next morning this time I refreshed the page asx fast as I could and look what happens. 6:38 Dropped (libpcap) 71.3% 4,666,158,554 6:38 Dropped (libpcap) 74.2% 4,854,085,280 6:38 Dropped (libpcap) 77.0% 5,042,015,632 6:38 Dropped (libpcap) 79.9% 5,229,949,802 6:39 Dropped (libpcap) 82.8% 5,417,891,784 So within 1 min it thinks it has seen 1 Billion packets. :) The network is a DS3 but it doesn't do anywhere near 10million packets/sec!
