The number not the size of arriving packets is usually the limiting factor. For further investigations, I would suggest to use "vmstat" to monitor the maschine. Have an eye on the number of interrupts and context switches.

These days you probably don't want to build the DOS meter. Borland Power Pack has been unavailable for several years now, it was a 32-bit memory package for the DOS environment. If you want to build NeTraMet from the distribution file, the simplest environment is either Linux ot FreeBSD. Provided you have libpcap installed (you may nateed to specify that as part of building your kernel, though I think Linux has it by default), you should be able to just ./configure and make. For this I recommend you use the latest beta version, ftp://ftp.auckland.ac.nz/pub/iawg/NeTraMet/beta-versions/NeTraMet44b8.tar.gz ANother possibility is to try the Windows version.
