Fwd: Packet Loss (Robert Clove)

[Murali Annamneni]

Hi Robert,

You can write your own kernel (using netfilter framework) module to count the number of packets received at kernel.
And, with this kernel module you can have the flexibility of filtering the packets you are sending from  packeth.


Thanks & Regards

Hey Sir,

I just want to know are there any driver or kernel parameters that we can adjust to get the better packet capture?

Thanks
