Robin Sommer commented on BIT-1363:
-----------------------------------

Is the conclusion that the pcap-based fan-out code that got merged recently doesn't work and should be removed? That would then also affect https://github.com/bro/broctl/pull/1.

> 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.
