Hi,All, I have a customer want to know about libpcap,they feel the performance is not good and ask the following question,any idea?
1. when capturing with libpcap, Solaris supports dlpi, as far as I know. Is there any API tuned or library which supports sniffing other than libpcap ? with higher performance than libpcap. 2. when sniffing packets with libpcap, We use the architecture which allocates memory by libpcap by itself and do the packets calling user call back function. in this architecture, we make shared memory and modify the buffer address of libpcap, to avoid from any possible performance issue. Especially on Solaris 10, we cannot modify the address of buffer of libpcap. is there any bug reported so far related to this issue? this issue is shown on Solaris 10 only, having no problem on other OSs. Do you have any libpcap tuned module on Solaris 10 or solution which can minimize packet leakage ? Thanks, Wenlong _______________________________________________ networking-discuss mailing list [email protected]
