BTW, does someone know why the number of BPF devices is limited to 4 (at least on AIX)? Is there a technical reason for this ? I've tried to add one more bpf device (/dev/bpf4) on an AIX 5.1 box. The device configuration seems ok (i.e. the sysconfig() calls are successfull). I can launch up to 4 tcpdump in parallel (that use /dev/bpf0 up to /dev/bpf3) but then as soon as I launch a fifth tcpdump, the kernel generate a panic, dump a kernel core and the machine leds display the "famous" 888 code ;-) J-L - This is the tcpdump-workers list.
