Hi,

I'll try to help with the Wireshark side of this problem.

I've never encountered Wireshark missing packets so far. While it
sounds as it wouldn't be a problem with the TIPC dissector, could you
please send me a trace file so I can definitely exclude this cause of
defect? I've tried to get it from the link quoted in the mail from Jon
but it seems it was already removed.

I've not yet gone that deep into package capture, so I can't say much
about that. Peter, could you send a mail to one of the Wireshark
mailing lists describing the problem? Have you tried capturing other
kinds of high traffic with less ressource hungy capture frontends?

Best regards,
Martin
