Dropped Packets too much (jiahui zhao)

I would suggest doing some reading on Bro clustering going a little deeper on your ‘lb’ configuration.

Not knowing what the data/packet rates you are attempting to process but in my experience asking a single process thread to do more than 300 Mb is going to ensure you get packet drops.

Below is part of my node.cfg for a 500Mb complex network data test lab setup I am currently running hosted in Centos KVM so I can learn/test some of the DNS/SSL scripting features.

[worker-1]

type=worker

host=localhost

#Interface=dag0

lb_procs=4

lb_method=interfaces

lb_interfaces=dag0,dag1,dag2,dag3

pin_cpus=4,5,6,7

Hope this helps you.

Regards
