AW: Extending Npcap

[Holger Pfrommer <HPfrommer () hilscher com>]

Hi Fyodor,

thanks for your fast reply.
We want to provide an extension for our netANALYZER industrial Ethernet analyzer tool.
There are still some dev-tasks to do, as soon as we are finished, we will prepare a pull-request for tcpdump/libpcap. 
And I’ll inform you about the changes.


Mit freundlichen Grüßen / Best regards

Holger Pfrommer

Cheers,

I’d like to extend Npcap library to support an additional capture device. Goal is to contribute the code to your nice 
project so it’ll be available to the whole public in future.
I already have an (up-to-date) running libpcap implementation for Linux and also (an older implementation) for WinPcap.

As far as I understood, Npcap is based in libpcap and thus would not require any separate implementation for Windows?

So what would be the best way to get my code into an upcoming release of Npcap?

Hi Holger.  I'm glad to hear it!  If your changes are all to libpcap itself, your best bet is to work with them toward 
adoption.  Npcap includes the latest libpcap (1.9.0) now, and we are usually pretty fast to update to newer libpcap 
releases as they are made.  They are great maintainers, so we try to avoid maintaining our own separate changesets 
wherever possible.

What kind of "additional capture device" does your extension enable?  We would love to see a link to the changesets 
when you submit them to the tcpdump/libpcap group.

Cheers,
Fyodor
