Suricata IPS AF_PACKET break the traffic

Please include the following information with your help request:

  • Suricata version
  • Operating system and/or Linux distribution
  • How you installed Suricata (from source, packages, something else)

Hello everyone,

I’m running Suricata version 8.0.2 on a Dell R730 with 256GB of RAM (PoC hardware) with Rocky Linux 10, installed from packages.

It’s configured in IPS mode:

  • interface: eno1
    cluster-id: 100
    cluster-type: cluster_flow
    defrag: yes
    copy-mode: ips
    copy-iface: eno4
    threads: auto
    use-mmap: yes
    tpacket-v3: yes
    ring-size: 4096
    block-size: 262144

  • interface: eno4
    cluster-id: 101
    cluster-type: cluster_flow
    defrag: yes
    copy-mode: ips
    copy-iface: eno1
    threads: auto
    use-mmap: yes
    tpacket-v3: yes
    ring-size: 4096
    block-size: 262144

Unfortunately, when I put it online, it breaks the connections of some applications (SAP, for example, which times out after about ten minutes).

Is this a known issue ?

Thanks

Provide your suricata.yaml and how you run Suricata and what ruleset you use. Also do you use drop rules or just alert?
