Jan Grashoefer commented on BIT-1363:
-------------------------------------
I have never tried this on an active interface. I am using it on an interface in promiscuous mode.
How do you determine that packets of a single connection have been sent do different workers?
Can you reproduce this for an interface in PROMISC mode?

> 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.
