Multiple Listend-Routerd Pairs
You can enable multiple listend instances
using multiple Listend-Routerd pairs
(MLRP).
MLRP provides the capability of using multiple NICs to capture
data in a load-balanced environment. You can configure your DNCA to
use MLRP with multiple NICs to improve packet capturing performance
and increase scalability to meet the demands of your network traffic.
MLRP takes advantage of multiple NICs by creating multiple instances
of the routerd process. Each routerd process
requires one CPU core to operate. Each routerd process
actively routes the flow of incoming network traffic from a listend process
to the reassd processes. Each listend process
is paired to one routerd process and can process
1 Gigabit per second of traffic. The ability to route the network
traffic to multiple reassd processes removes the
need to manually segment and distribute the captured traffic to prevent
queuing. Balancing the network traffic to multiple reassd processors
enables the DNCA to
take advantage of using multiple NICs to receive and process large
amounts of network traffic.
