Can libpcap affect speed of packets sending/recieving?

[Sergey Gomanyuk <Sergey.Gomanyuk () amdocs com>]

Hi,

I wonder if libpcap can somehow affect speed of processing packets by TCP/IP stack?

I noticed that such behavior can happen in particular Linux environments  with high traffic load - without capturing 
all is Ok, with capturing (especially on "any" interface) it seems that packets stuck in TCP/IP stack (sometimes 
application that generates traffic receives a huge amount of EAGAIN error).

Thanks,

Sergey Gomanyuk
