Hi, I am specifying a read timeout of 5000 milliseconds in the pcap_open_live call. However when I loop in pcap_dispatch (with a count of 0), it returns after every packet. My understanding on this was (based on the man page) that pcap_dispatch would keep calling the callback packet handler on every packet it gets, but will return only if either an error occurs, EOF is reached or read times out. In the absence of the first two cases, shouldnt pcap_dispatch be returning only once after atleast 5 seconds have passed since the last received packet ?
This is on Linux kernel 2.2.18 using libpcap 0.4 Thanks, Joe __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Make a great connection at Yahoo!
