             Summary: Clustered AF_PACKET support
                 Key: BIT-1363
                 URL: https://bro-tracker.atlassian.net/browse/BIT-1363
             Project: Bro Issue Tracker
          Issue Type: New Feature
          Components: Bro
    Affects Versions: git/master
            Reporter: Michal Purzynski


Let's have a support for packet capture with the AF_PACKET sockets in multi worker configuration.

Bro can use a single worker with af_packet, I have tested and it works, but having a direct support for multi-worker load balancing would allow to avoid the pf_ring for many deployments with the traffic level where DNA / ZC / Myricom / DAG is not required.
