I am new to the mailing list and don't know if it is fittng for me to propose a question here:
I checked quite a few items in Ethereal mailing list, but have not found how to know if any packets dropped (or how many packets dropped) in ETHEREAL or its offline (sniffed) files.
I do not remember where the following definitions come from. Could anybody instruct me how to use the following information to get "TotDrops" (for example, in C/C++)?
//struct pcap_md {
// struct pcap_stat stat;
/*XXX*/
// int use_bpf; /* using kernel filter */
// u_long TotPkts; /* can't oflow for 79 hrs on ether */
// u_long TotAccepted; /* count accepted by filter */
// u_long TotDrops; /* count of dropped packets */
// long TotMissed; /* missed by i/f during this run */
// long OrigMissed; /* missed by i/f before this run */
//#ifdef linux
// int sock_packet; /* using Linux 2.0 compatible interface */
// int readlen; /* byte count to hand to "recvmsg()" */
// int timeout; /* timeout specified to pcap_open_live */
// int clear_promisc; /* must clear promiscuous mode when we close */
// int cooked; /* using SOCK_DGRAM rather than SOCK_RAW */
// int lo_ifindex; /* interface index of the loopback device */
// char *device; /* device name */
// struct pcap *next; /* list of open promiscuous sock_packet pcaps */
//#endif
//};
