    <UL>
      <LI>the conversion of IP addresses to host names</LI>
      <LI>the onversion IP ports to service names</LI>
      <LI>the display of non-privilegded ports on the <I>sniffer</I>configuration page</LI>

      Behaviour under heavy loading
    </H3>
    <P>
      Under heavy load, the packet display can use a large amount of CPU time
      and may not be able to keep up with incoming packets. There are two
      possibilities to deal with this situation:
    </P>
    <UL>
      <LI>
        <B>Disable the packet display</B><BR>
        If none of the display options (<I>time</I>, <I>protocol</I>, etc)
        on the configuration page are selected then the packet display is
        disabled.
      </LI>
      <LI>
        <B>Pause the packet display</B><BR>
        This is controlled by the <B>Pause at</B> and <B>Pause for</B> settings.
        If the packet display receives the former number of packets within a
        second, then it will pause until the load drops below this value for
        the latter number of seconds.
      </LI>
    </UL>
    <P>
      Note that this applies to <I>sniffers</I> but not to <I>replayers</I>.
      Some experimentation may be needed to determin the largest value of
      <B>Pause at</B> that is reasonable on your machine.
