WinPcap had such a mechanism at one point, although I think it might not
yet be working in WinPcap 3.0; if you implement such a mechanism and
provide libpcap extensions to use it, you might want to use whatever API
WinPcap used (I don't remember what it was, and it doesn't seem to be
documented in the current WinPcap documentation).
