Jan Grashoefer commented on BIT-1363:
-------------------------------------

Is PF_RING bidirectional? From what I can see, PCAP_PF_RING_USE_CLUSTER_PER_FLOW is set. This does not indicate any bidirectional handling.

> 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.
