1 Hello everybody,
2 I am running Gentoo AMD - 64 machine as a bridge. Unfortunately
3 when i receive huge #
4 of packets (hundreds of thousands of bits / sec) it seems that i am
5 dropping some of the packets totally. I am using IPTraf for monitoring
6 my traffic.
7 So either the information being displayed is wrong or there is
8 something in linux kernel which is dropping (buffering and loosing)
9 the packets.
10 If any one can guide me either for kernel tuning to avoid this or
11 guide me for better traffic monitoring tool i would appreciate it.

13 Thanks.
