Yes, but it’s rooted pretty deep in some of the libpcap sources. That code was actually working at some point on linux and there was some idea to include it in libpcap vs. being a patch for WinPcap. I don’t know what happened to that plan. AFAIK, there were also some security concerns about the protocol used for transferring the packets (I don’t know the details), and that might be one of the reasons why it was never pushed back to upstream.

Shortly, we take the libpcap sources and apply a pretty substantial patch on it to compile on Windows. Thanks! I want to know how to compile/integrate the latest libpcap code into wpcap.dll. I don't know the steps. Cheers, Yang Have a nice day GV Hi Gianluca, We haven't changed what happens at all with wpcap.dll. I guess we'll have to just make a big jump to current libpcap and create another patch to fix what hurts, although I know Guy was keen to make libpcap compile correctly on Windows. -- Graham Bloice ___________________________________________________________________________ Sent via: Wireshark-dev mailing list <wireshark-dev () wireshark org<mailto:wireshark-dev () wireshark org>> Archives: https://www.wireshark.org/lists/wireshark-dev Unsubscribe: https://wireshark.org/mailman/options/wireshark-dev mailto:wireshark-dev-request () wireshark org<mailto:wireshark-dev-request () wireshark org>?subject=unsubscribe
