If you get anything working on Windows, I'm interested to know your throughput. I
can't get above about 10Mbps full duplex across my winpcap bridge...

Is it because of the latency introduced by the bridging process (so for example the round trip time is higher and the throughput of a bridged TCP connection goes down) or because of the CPU load bouncing to 100%?
It's not just latency..I have tested driving both UDP and TCP through it..and UDP won't back off.

I'm not 100% sure where the problem is..likely part of it is that I am running the threads & resend
pkt to self on a socket so I can select in the main loop.

We just tell customers to use something other than Windows for high speed, and that seems to
be good enough these days...

Thanks,
Ben
