Hi, For a number of reasons it would be useful to have a capture file format that includes multiple link-type records. This does not seem to be allowed by the current pcap format. Some of the reasons include: - Being able to include packets from many interfaces in the one capture file - Being able to include information records in the capture file, for pedagogic or other reasons. Is it possible to define a new pcap version that includes a linktype field in the header of each packet?
