Hi,

Please, is there any way to force pcap to deliver packets once it
receives the packet? Currently, pcap delivers packets to my
application at intervals and it batches the packets before delivering
them. There are substantial time differences between when the packet
is received by pcap and when it is finally delivered by the
application.

Please see
https://www.tcpdump.org/manpages/pcap_set_immediate_mode.3pcap.html and
try the function.

In the screenshot I attached, 6 packets were received within 400ms
but all delivered at the same time.

This list strips non-text attachments (for clarity HTML is considered
not text for this purpose), so the screenshot didn't make it through.
