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.

> 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
> Attachments: pcap.c

> 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.
