Measuring the processing performance of NetSniff
Julie-Anne Bussiere, Jason But · Swinburne figshare (Swinburne University of Technology) · 2005
NetSniff is an IP traffic analysis tool currently used in low traffic scenarios. Before deployment under higher traffic scenarios, it is important to perform a study into the processing and live traffic capture performance of NetSniff. In this technical report we subject NetSniff to a series of processing performance evaluations in an attempt to determine the limitations of NetSniff with regard to packet processing rates on different hardware platforms and configurations.
