Wireshark · Wireshark-users: [Wireshark-users] tshark or dumpcap ring buffer limitations

[Joseph Laibach <jlaibach@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

All,

                I’m running a continuous capture of data. I’m trying to use a ring buffer of 25000 files with an 8mb file size. The problem is that the ring buffer starts overwriting after 10000 files. I’ve tried it with dumpcap and tshark. The command is using the –b files:25000 –b filesize:8192. Is there a limitation to the size of the ring buffer for dumpcap and/or tshark?

 

Thanks

 

Joe
