Re: Experiencing Packet Loss in High Volume Packet Capture Application using DUMPCAP

Hi Guy.

Thanks for your suggestions - PDF sound like the most 'portable' :-D

The issue we have is that it is too time consuming to switch between
systems to troubleshoot an issue so moving the data from the vendor system
to one with wireshark would not be operationally feasible, it was worth
thinking about though :-)
