WHich kernel do you use. On a recent 2.6, you can use
nfq_set_queue_maxlen in userspace to set the queue_max_length.

Hi Eric,

Thanks for the response, I am using the 2.6.18 kernel. For the nfq_set_queue_maxlen you mentioned below is this an env variable in userspace or do I set it in my app code?

Thanks again!

Scott

Args, it has been added to 2.6.20:
http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commitdiff;h=829e17a1a602572ffa3beefe582dc103ee9fb9c7;hp=7b621c1ea64a54f77b8a841b16dc4c9fee3ecf48

In fact, this adds the feature to modify queue max length from the
application. You need a recent kernel (>=2.6.20) and a decently recent
libnetfilter_queue.

Best regards,
