Touche. Still didn't answer my question though :) How much buffering occurs in libpcap?
That's implementation depedent between drivers, cards, and pcaps. Peg tcpdump-workers () tcpdump org when you want to help find out. Not a lot is typically done at pcap though there are exceptions. The real answer: never as much as you would want. Separating them out might be a fun project for someone and separating out the stuff that happens before the InterfaceThread from the things that happen in the pcap_loop callback and comparing. -- Chris Green <cmg () sourcefire com> A watched process never cores. ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email sponsored by: Free pre-built ASP.NET sites including Data Reports, E-commerce, Portals, and Forums are available now.
