Wireshark · Wireshark-users: Re: [Wireshark-users] tshark memory

[Abhijit Bare <abhibare@xxxxxxxxx>]

I am running wireshark 1.0.4 on SLES 10 on dual quadcore Xeon 3GHz with 16G memory. Tshark is using one full core.
Should I try latest version?

Thanks,

Abhijit

What version on which platform? Some work to reduce memory usage and
Speed up filtering has been done in the development version you may want to
try that out. Although 2.5 TB is most probably to much depending on the
Type of traffic captured and if reassembly is turned of or on.
