AQG Network Analyzer memory usage

yanadump can control its maximum memory usage through the usage of three command line arguments:

  • --max-tcp-streams: maximum number of TCP streams to follow
  • --max-udp-streams: maximum number of UDP streams to follow
  • --max-ip-defrag: maximum number of IP defragmention flows to follow

The default values have been computed so that the maximum amount of memory yanadump will use is below 100MB. yanadump --help will display these values.

This is overall a memory usage/precision tradeoff. If you can afford higher memory usage, these default values can be changed.
