Hi,

I am capturing large amounts of data from lo under Linux, and it seems 
that with large transmits (around 65535 bytes), the libpcap stuff is 
dropping the last two segments of each transmit.

Does anyone know of any kernel param I can tune to stop this?

Similarly for FreeBSD? I already know about debug.bpf_bufsize for FreeBSD.

Regards
