Problems when capturing data with dumpcap

["Oendogan, Osman" <osman.oendogan () siemens com>]

Hi,
 
when capturing data via dumpcap, we encountered problems with packet dropping. The captured data is written on a named 
pipe (Solaris 10) from where it is read by our application for further proceeding. We see that when we do something 
with the data (within the same process where reading from pipe is done), we get the message dropped packages (approx. 
10% of the captured packets).
 
Can anyone give us any hints regarding the dropped packages when capturing data with dumpcap?
 
Thanks a lot in advance
 
Regards
