I know this would be a big change for your code, but the pcap API is more stable, while the packet API is subject to change from time to time (in fact I suppose you had to modify some stuff in your code to work with 3.1 beta, in particular regarding the PacketGetAdapterNames() API). Have a nice day GV Thanks, Jens. Why do you need such information about the prefixes we use for the adapters? We cannot grant not to change that prefix in the future versions (as we do not grant not to change the Packet API, as well). Have a nice day GV == This is the WinPcap users list.

RE: [WinPcap-users] ANNOUNCE: WinPcap 3.1 beta3 has been released
I've tested this some, and so far things look good. I've just come across a need to use the rpcap capabilities. However my needs also include the use of pcap_sendpacket. It seems that this is not supported in the rpcap universe. Is there hope for this? By the way, a couple of months ago, I submitted changes to the generic libpcap to support pcap_sendpacket on all/most platforms. These are visible in the current libpcap cvs. Thanks. - Mark Pizzolato -Original Message- From: Gianluca Varenni [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Posted At: Saturday, May 15, 2004 4:02 AM Posted To: List - WinPcap-Users Conversation: [WinPcap-users] ANNOUNCE: WinPcap 3.1 beta3 has been released Subject: [WinPcap-users] ANNOUNCE: WinPcap 3.1 beta3 has been released The beta3 of WinPcap 3.1 is available from today in the download section of the WinPcap site. WinPcap 3.1 beta3 is a minor update, that fixes a couple of bugs present in beta2, that prevented it to work on Windows 9x. CHANGELOG = - Bug fixing: + Fixed a bug related to device listing if TCP/IP is not installed: on 2000/XP if TCP is not installed, it reported you must install TCP/IP, and this was plain wrong. + Added PacketSetSnapLen() under Win9x. Without this function, wpcap.dll fails to load on Win9x. + PacketGetAdapterNames() has been rewritten under Win9x, in order to comply to the correct behavior specified in the documentation. = == This is the WinPcap users list.

Re: [WinPcap-users] Problems HP computers
Hi I'm also using the packet API instead of pcap. The reason for Jens might be (for me it is) performance. The more API layers it has to go through, the slower the code. This is critical for low usage CPU (background) applications that must capture live traffic, with repetitive calls to e.g. PacketReceivePacket( ). It is a fact that one must cope with the NPF_ and Packet_ , and the ASCII/Unicode in PacketGetAdapterNames( ) stuff... and the PacketGetVersion( ) format changes...but that's life. Keep up the good work with Winpcap! Namely WAN support ! Pedro Lucas Why don't to migrate to the pcap API?
