Can your processor handle 38 packet processing threads?

Yes, I added the interface information in suricata.yaml.  This is what I am getting:

Did you setup the interfaces within suricata.yaml in the af-packet section?  Set ips mode in that section?
 
See https://home.regit.org/2012/09/new-af_packet-ips-mode-in-suricata/.  It works.  We use and it works great as long as your rules are set to drop as the action.

Hi,
 
I want to run Suricata with AF_packet mode inside a docker container. I am having trouble with configuring the interfaces. Also, I ran a simple rule of dropping every TCP request, but seems like nothing is dropped.
 
Thanks
