If non-zero, packets are being dropped because they exceed the max size limit.
Whenever a packet is received with a size larger than the maximum large capture packet size limit, this metric is incremented by one.
Note: If you are using one or more 10-gigabit fiber network interface
cards and are experiencing capture traffic quality issues, it can
be caused by the fiber interface card and driver issues. If the DNCA
is not using Intel™ chipset-based NIC interface cards, Discover highly recommends that you switch to NICs by using Intel chipsets.
Under the Interface tab in the Tuning Parameters view, the Max
large capture packet size field defines the maximum large
capture packet size limit.
- By default, this setting is set to
40KB. - As needed, this setting can be increased to accommodate systems that have features such as large receive offload (LRO) enabled.
Increasing the Max large capture packet size must
stop metric on the Summary tab from increasing.
