+# Flow settings:
+# By default, the reserved memory (memcap) for flows is 32MB. This is the limit
+# for flow allocation inside the engine. You can change this value to allow
+# more memory usage for flows.
+# The hash-size determines the size of the hash used to identify flows inside
+# the engine, and by default the value is 65536.
+# At startup, the engine can preallocate a number of flows, to get better
+# performance. The number of flows preallocated is 10000 by default.
+# emergency-recovery is the percentage of flows that the engine needs to
+# prune before clearing the emergency state. The emergency state is activated
+# when the memcap limit is reached, allowing new flows to be created, but
+# pruning them with the emergency timeouts (they are defined below).
+# If the memcap is reached, the engine will try to prune flows
+# with the default timeouts. If it doesn't find a flow to prune, it will set
+# the emergency bit and it will try again with more aggressive timeouts.
+# If that doesn't work, then it will try to kill the oldest flows using
+# last time seen flows.
+# The memcap can be specified in kb, mb, gb.  Just a number indicates it's
+# in bytes.

+# without receiving new packets or closing the connection. "closed" is the

+## Performance tuning and profiling

+
+# The detection engine builds internal groups of signatures. The engine
+# allows us to specify the profile to use for them, to manage memory in an
+# efficient way keeping good performance. For the profile keyword you
+# can use the words "low", "medium", "high" or "custom". If you use custom,
+# make sure to define the values in the "custom-values" section.
+# Usually you would prefer medium/high/low.
+#
+# "sgh mpm-context", indicates how the staging should allot mpm contexts for
+# the signature groups.  "single" indicates the use of a single context for
+# all the signature group heads.  "full" indicates a mpm-context for each
+# group head.  "auto" lets the engine decide the distribution of contexts
+# based on the information the engine gathers on the patterns from each
+# group head.
+#
+# The option inspection-recursion-limit is used to limit the recursive calls
+# in the content inspection code.  For certain payload-sig combinations, we
+# might end up taking too much time in the content inspection code.

+# When running in NFQ inline mode, it is possible to use a simulated
+# non-terminal NFQUEUE verdict.
+# This permits sending all needed packet to Suricata via this rule:
+#        iptables -I FORWARD -m mark ! --mark $MARK/$MASK -j NFQUEUE
+# And below, you can have your standard filtering ruleset. To activate
+# this mode, you need to set mode to 'repeat'
+# If you want a packet to be sent to another queue after an ACCEPT decision
+# set the mode to 'route' and set next-queue value.
+# On Linux >= 3.1, you can set batchcount to a value > 1 to improve performance
+# by processing several packets before sending a verdict (worker runmode only).
+# On Linux >= 3.6, you can set the fail-open option to yes to have the kernel
+# accept the packet if Suricata is not able to keep pace.
+# bypass mark and mask can be used to implement NFQ bypass. If bypass mark is
+# set then the NFQ bypass is activated. Suricata will set the bypass mark/mask
+# on packet of a flow that need to be bypassed. The Nefilter ruleset has to
+# directly accept all packets of a flow once a packet has been marked.
+nfq:
+#  mode: accept
+#  repeat-mark: 1
+#  repeat-mask: 1
+#  bypass-mark: 1

+##
+## Advanced Capture Options
+##
+
+# General settings affecting packet capture
+capture:
+  # disable NIC offloading. It's restored when Suricata exits.
+  # Enabled by default.
+  #disable-offloading: false
+  #
+  # disable checksum validation. Same as setting '-k none' on the
+  # commandline.
+  #checksum-validation: none
+
+# Netmap support
+#
+# Netmap operates with NIC directly in driver, so you need FreeBSD 11+ which has
+# built-in Netmap support or compile and install the Netmap module and appropriate
+# NIC driver for your Linux system.
+# To reach maximum throughput disable all receive-, segmentation-,
+# checksum- offloading on your NIC (using ethtool or similar).
+# Disabling TX checksum offloading is *required* for connecting OS endpoint
+# with NIC endpoint.
+# You can find more information at https://github.com/luigirizzo/netmap

+# For FreeBSD ipfw(8) divert(4) support.
+# Please make sure you have ipfw_load="YES" and ipdivert_load="YES"
+# in /etc/loader.conf or kldload'ing the appropriate kernel modules.
+# Additionally, you need to have an ipfw rule for the engine to see
+# the packets from ipfw.  For Example:
+#
+#   ipfw add 100 divert 8000 ip from any to any
+#
+# N.B. This example uses "8000" -- this number must mach the values
+# you passed on the command line, i.e., -d 8000
+#
+ipfw:
+
+  # Reinject packets at the specified ipfw rule number.  This config
+  # option is the ipfw rule number AT WHICH rule processing continues
+  # in the ipfw processing system after the engine has finished
+  # inspecting the packet for acceptance.  If no rule number is specified,
+  # accepted packets are reinjected at the divert rule which they entered
+  # and IPFW rule processing continues.  No check is done to verify
+  # this will rule makes sense so care must be taken to avoid loops in ipfw.
+  #
+  ## The following example tells the engine to reinject packets
+  # back into the ipfw firewall AT rule number 5500:
+  #
+  # ipfw-reinjection-rule-number: 5500

+    # Ports indicates which Napatech ports are to be used in auto-config mode.
+    # these are the port IDs of the ports that will be merged prior to the

+    #
+    # When hardware-bypass is enabled the ports must be configured as a segment.
+    # specify the port(s) on which upstream and downstream traffic will arrive.
+    # This information is necessary for the hardware to properly process flows.
+    #
+    # When using a tap configuration one of the ports will receive inbound traffic
+    # for the network and the other will receive outbound traffic. The two ports on a
+    # given segment must reside on the same network adapter.
+    #
+    # When using a SPAN-port configuration the upstream and downstream traffic
+    # arrives on a single port. This is configured by setting the two sides of the
+    # segment to reference the same port.  (e.g. 0-0 to configure a SPAN port on
+    # port 0).
+    #
+    # port segments are specified in the form:
+    #    ports: [0-1,2-3,4-5,6-6,7-7]
+    #
+    # For legacy systems when hardware-bypass is disabled this can be specified in any
+    # of the following ways:
+    #
+    #   a list of individual ports (e.g. ports: [0,1,2,3])
+    #
+    #   a range of ports (e.g. ports: [0-3])
+    #
+    #   "all" to indicate that all ports are to be merged together
+    #   (e.g. ports: [all])
+    #
+    # This parameter has no effect if auto-config is disabled.
+    #
+    ports: [0-1,2-3]
+
+    # When auto-config is enabled the hashmode specifies the algorithm for
+    # determining to which stream a given packet is to be delivered.
+    # This can be any valid Napatech NTPL hashmode command.
+    #
+    # The most common hashmode commands are:  hash2tuple, hash2tuplesorted,
+    # hash5tuple, hash5tuplesorted and roundrobin.
+    #
+    # See Napatech NTPL documentation other hashmodes and details on their use.
