The '''Single Shared Ring Buffer''' uses '''one''' shared storage for the '''Ring Buffer''' and '''pcap to Disk'''. This mode is recommended if only one storage device is used since it allows a '''Ring Buffer''' and space for '''pcap files''' on the same storage device. Please note that using both features at the same time may lead to a performance bottleneck. | ||
