=== Limit module processing ===
=== Detail of traffic analysis ===


This setting allows you to configure which modules are active. With this setting, the performance of the Allegro Network Multimeter can be significantly improved and allows a higher throughput if you do not need to select some analysis modules.
Limit module processing, allows you to configure which OSI-layers (2,3,4,7) are actively processed and analyzed by the Allegro Network Multimeter. With this setting, the performance of the Allegro Network Multimeter can be significantly improved and allows for higher throughput when disabling some analysis modules.


The following modes are possible:
For both realtime and offline parallel analysis, the following modes are possible :


* Only capturing: Only interface statistics and the capture module is provided. The capture filters are supported except Layer 7 protocol recognition.
* Only capturing: Only interface statistics and the capture module is provided. Capture filters are supported without Layer 7 protocol specification/recognition.
* Capturing and protocol detection: Additionally Layer 7 protocol specification in Capture filters will now work.
* Up to Layer 2: Additionally all Layer 2 related modules are active such as MAC, MAC protocols, ARP and Burst Analysis.
* Up to Layer 2: Additionally all Layer 2 related modules are active such as MAC, MAC protocols, ARP and Burst Analysis.
* Up to Layer 3: Additionally all Layer 3 related modules are active such as IP and DHCP statistics.
* Up to Layer 3: Additionally all Layer 3 related modules are active such as IP and DHCP statistics.
* Up to Layer 4: Additionally all Layer 4 related modules are active such as TCP and Layer 4 server ports.
* Up to Layer 4: Additionally all Layer 4 related modules are active such as TCP and Layer 4 server ports.
* Unlimited: All modules are active.
* Unlimited: All Allegro Network Multimeter modules are active.


When switching to another mode you need to restart the processing in order to activate the new settings.

Please note that data recorded to/stored in the Packet Ring buffer, will NOT be affected by the above settings. Packet ring buffer capture rules must be configured under "Generic - Packet Ring Buffer", further explained in our wiki here https://allegro-packets.com/wiki/Packet_ring_buffer#Packet_ring_buffer_snapshot_length_filter
