…22708) For dualtor_sniffer script, all interfaces are sharing one PF_PACKET socket with a default SO_RCVBUF of only 128KB. During scapy's per-packet Python processing, brief pauses cause this small buffer to overflow, silently dropping packets. The test then misinterprets missing sniffer captures as forwarding disruptions. Increase SO_RCVBUF to 32MB to absorb processing pauses.

How did you verify/test it?
Ran the tests on dualtor-aa-56
Any platform specific information?
Supported testbed topology if it's a new test case?
