I want 10G supported sniffer to capture packets.I searched many but i found that the common analyser wireshark doesnot support 10G packets.How to i sniff 10G packets .Is there any tool to sniff 10g data packets.
Any ideas or solutions will be appreciable
Does tcpdump supports 10 G data packets to capture?
The answer is: Yes.
Because:
tcpdump
/ wireshark
or rather the underlying pcap
software does not care at all about 10baseT
, 100baseT
, 1000baseT
, one gazillion peta-bits-OMG-look-how-fast-I-go
per seconds or more.
But you will/may have issues on your CPU, RAM, disk access bandwidth. Because 10 giga-bits per seconds is a pretty heavy load no matter the software - this becomes a hardware issue.
