Hello 


I am working on a network-monitoring tool for UNIX environment. The tool is using the 
libcap for the network-monitoring feature. 
While testing the tool at 100 BT network environment, I found out that a considerable 
number of packets would be dropped if the data rate increases. Therefore I have 
started the tcpdump application to verify that the number of packets send to the 
network is equal to the number recognized by the LAN device. 

In this case the number of packets counted by the tcpdump application also have been 
different to the number of packets send out to the network. 
And for each load it counted a different number of packets received. 

Is there a simple answer like that the performance of the libpcap driver does not 
support data rates of 100 BT Network?
I would be glad if you have any suggestion to solve the performance issue of the 
monitoring tool.
