I wanted to know how much percentage of the original wireless traffic do I lose when I am sniffing on monitor interfaces ? pcap statistics show me no packet loss, but I wanted to know, if the virtual interfaces( phy{0,1}) itself gave me all the traffic or not. Ideal case would have been sweeping out the packets from the kernel itself, but my patch does not work for some reason, hence I am sniffing on monitor interfaces.
