[Ethereal-users] performance hit for gig links

["Javier Torres" <Javier.Torres@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello,
I have tried upgrading for my issue so I am on the latest 10.14 version of the software.

I had to install on a Windoze machine because that is what the guys here are comfortable with. 

Since it is windows I got a dual 2.8Gh proc machine and installed 4 gig of memory.  The os running on this box is 2003 server.  When I try to do captures on my gig links the machine freaks out.  The cpu's spike to 100 and I lose the box for the most part.  I need to stop the capture in order to calm the box down.  When I do this with 100 meg links the machine is more manageable.

 

I have resorted to doing captures with windump then reading back the file with Ethereal.  Has anyone had similar issues and if so how were you able to overcome them?

Thanks,
Javier
