Hi Somehow my question was left unanswered. Can anyone from the developers relate to it ?(and to the PS below) Thanks Noam Cohen

Why not adding a flag that will say "use same time base since first call": pcap_sendqueue_transmit(... , bool usePreviousTimeBase = false), or even better: add a new function pcap_set_sendqueue_time_base(timeval* origin). If this function is called, all transmissions will use this time base. PS: how do people transmit long files? Use your own busy loop?

To: [email protected] Message-ID: <[email protected]> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" GV, To work around this, can we have a 'feature' which allows adding pkts to a send queue with a caplen/len of 0? If this is supported, we can add a pkt with a len of 0 to the end of the first sendqueue with the appropriate timestamp.
