Description

Suricata only supports TPACKET_V2 in AF_PACKET capture. The version 3 of packet allows to have a non fixed packet size in the ring buffer. This is supposed to increase capture performance on network with small packets.

Seems the protocol is not documented and example code is missing. Might be hard to get it working.

Seems this API isn't all that much of an improvement?

We noticed quite an increase in performance (around %25) when implementing in our sniffer. It would be great is Suricata was able to support this as well.
