TEST: stream.inline experiment - measure latency/cpu/drops

[itcmsgr]

Component

Suricata Config

Profile Impact

• A (Minimal VPS)
• B (Standard Server)
• C (Full/Enterprise)

Metric

Latency / CPU / Drops

Current Value

stream.inline mode not evaluated

Target Value

Benchmark data comparing inline vs non-inline modes

How to Measure

# Baseline (non-inline)
suricata -c /etc/suricata/suricata.yaml --set stream.inline=false
# Measure for 1 hour, collect: CPU%, latency, drops

# Test (inline)
suricata -c /etc/suricata/suricata.yaml --set stream.inline=true
# Measure for 1 hour, collect: CPU%, latency, drops

# Compare results

Risk Level

Low

Effort Estimate

M (Medium - days)

Acceptance Criteria

• Benchmark completed on Profile B reference system
• Benchmark completed on Profile C reference system
• Results documented: CPU impact, latency impact, drop rate
• Recommendation made (enable/disable per profile)
• If beneficial, create follow-up issue to implement
