I have attached the patch that we have been using. This is a patch for the libpcap code in FreeBSD -CURRENT right now. It appears to work well, but you folks might have some ideas for getting the necessary autoconf magic in, as well make some possible architecture changes. Let me know what you think. I have CC rwatson as well, as Robert has been heavily involved in the development over the past year. Thanks! On Tue, Mar 25, 2008 at 01:11:40AM -0700, Guy Harris wrote:

Christian Peron (CC'd) has been responsible for the code.That means that we *don't* want to take what we have now and release it, as we don't currently have any code that supports zero-copy BPF. We'd need to get a patch to add support for it, and add that, before releasing libpcap 1.0, if a goal is to get support for zero-copy BPF in libpcap 1.0.
