Hi,

Although Wireshark uses libpcap, these are libpcap questions, not
Wireshark questions. 
You should post them to the right forum, which in this case is
tcpdump-workers () lists tcpdump org.

Thanks,
Jaap

Hi All,

As far as I know, in general, pcap_loop() function of libpcap library is
preferred over pcap_next_ex() function.

Is it related to some kind of fact that pcap_loop() is more
robust/reliable/efficient ?

Thanks.
