Michal Purzynski commented on BIT-1363:
---------------------------------------

I've just put the interface in promisc mode and made sure all offloading options are disabled. Same result.

Connections get spread among two different processes, if sniffing on the NAT instance.

> 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.
