Hi Everyone,
I am performing a continuous capture of a large IP stream using dumpcap.
I have been told by my users that they are experiencing packet drop.
I am running CentOS 6.3 with:
* wireshark-1.2.15-2.el6_2.1.x86_64
* wireshark-gnome-1.2.15-2.el6_2.1.x86_64
* libpcap-1.0.0-6.20091201git117cb5.el6.x86_64
I found this solution on a Dumpcap man page:
*-B <capture buffer size>*
[...]
but alas this options in not available on my build even though I am running libpcap 1.0.0-6.
*Any suggestions as to how to utilize the capture buffer size option on my machine will be greatly appreciated!*
What kind of error are you getting that says "-B" isn't working? I just tried it on 6.1 and dumpcap did not complain when I gave it the "-B" argument.
Not sure, but wireshark 1.2.15 is pretty old. Does it already support the -B option?
Doh! You're right. I hadn't noticed that someone had installed another
(2nd and much more modern) version of Wireshark on my 6.1 system (which
was of course first in my path)...
