Re: Linux problem with libpcap

["David Chang" <dchang () fsautomation com>]

Hi,

I'm having a problem with a program I wrote using libpcap.  This only happens in Linux.  I have the exact same code 
running under Solaris without problems.  The first time I run the Linux code, it drops packets (about 10 packets out of 
700 packets).  All subsequent runs yield no packet loss.  I think it has to do with Linux's demand paging system where 
it loads up just enough code to begin execution and waits for page faults to load the rest of the program.  Once the 
program is in memory, everything is fine.

Given this, can I get libpcap to increase it's capture buffer so I can have more time to startup?  Or, is there a way 
to load a program completely in memory in Linux before execution begins?
