Is it reliable to run multiple instances of Wireshark and/or dumpcap capturing ON THE SAME NICs in a computer ? No risk of a locking or of missing / duplicate packets ? I usually run Wireshark on Windows 7 or 8 or Windows Server 2003 and above.
This works fine here on Win 8.1: start /win /c dumpcap -c100 -i9 &^ start /c /win dumpcap -c100 -i9 &^ start /c /win dumpcap -c100 -i9 (1 line in cmd or in a .bat-file). This gives me 3 console-windows with packets counting in unison. And the resulting %TEMP\wireshark_pcapng_Ethernet_* files have the same size and content. -- --gv ___________________________________________________________________________ Sent via: Wireshark-users mailing list <wireshark-users () wireshark org> Archives: https://www.wireshark.org/lists/wireshark-users Unsubscribe: https://wireshark.org/mailman/options/wireshark-users mailto:wireshark-users-request () wireshark org?subject=unsubscribe
