    i guess you run tcpdump on physical interface, didn't you?

     

     

    Running tcpdump on a switch interface is rate-limited to 200 packets per second. Therefore, if you run tcpdump on an interface that is processing more than 200 packets per second, the captured tcpdump file will not include all of the packets.sol6546: Recommended methods and limitations for running tcpdump on a BIG-IP system

    anyway, what was the problem?
