asking for a new link-layer header type value

[nicolas roche <nicolasf.roche () gmail com>]

Hello,

I wondering if the number of packets loosed by the kernel may be added
to the .pcap file header.
In fact I'm using tcpdump format to capture and replay physical values
from a detector and this
information is very important to me, so I guess also for other people in
the future.

Thanks for your tools.
Nicolas.

Instead, send mail to tcpdump- <mailto:tcpdump-workers () lists tcpdump org>

This is the tcpdump-workers list.
