Q & A
-
Question: If we get a network traffic dump for several days, will it affect the behavior of DDI?
Answer: No. It will not affect the behavior of DDI. This will only affect new traffic kept in 10 files. -
Question: If the traffic dump exceeds the DDI disk capacity, will it be overwritten?
Answer: DDI limits each dump file to 100 MB. 10 files only use 1000 MB of disk space so it should be no problem. Yes, the dump file will be overwritten.
