Exactly. That's why I asked if anyone has taken a look at it. Because
calling it from the application at pcap_dispatch time would be useless.
Just like calling it from libpcap an arbitrary time too late would be
useless.
So if the underlying systems don't provide a monotonic clock for packet
arrival time then that's that.
take a look at the code.
Huh? I never said this.
