nProbe Pro won't do more then 1Gb/s?
Hi list,

Do you know of any limitation (license wise) on the capture speed of nProbe?
Can't seem to go above 1Gb/s, but machine still has plenty of CPU
available, and PCIe 10Gb/s NIC...

Hello,

Is PF_RING the culprit here ?? How to tweak this?
Absolute stats showing around 2Gb/s and Actual stats near 1Gb/s...

Hi Marco
it seems there is no packet loss, did you check the interface stats with ethtool -S to check if pats are getting lost at interface level?

Best Regards
Alfredo

Re: nProbe Pro won't do more then 1Gb/s? [ In reply to ]
Hi Alfredo,

I think our emails got crossed... but nevertheless here is ethtool -S
output... Shows no drops.

===
[marco@nprobe ~]$ sudo ethtool --statistics ens2f0
NIC statistics:
xmit_called: 0
xmit_finished: 0
rx_dropped: 0
tx_dropped: 0
csummed: 0
rx_pkts: 544668580
lro_pkts: 0
rx_bytes: 480924479057
tx_bytes: 0
===

Like i said... on my previous email, the problem might be with PFRING ?

Marco
how much traffic are you injecting and how (pfsend)? What does the sender say?

Hello list,

Any PFRING wizard that can offer clues on where to start troubleshooting
this variance between "Absolut Stats" vs "Actual Stats"...?

“Absolute Stats” is the total / average number of packets/bytes
“Actual Stats” is the current number of packets/bytes (last second)

Re: nProbe Pro won't do more then 1Gb/s? [ In reply to ]
Hi Afredo and anyone "listening",

I would like to rule out if pf_ring is the culprit here...
What would be the correct way to have nprobe use libpcap (or AF_PACKET??)
mode of getting packets from the NIC?
Blacklisting pf_ring module from loading?

Thank you
Marco
