WinPcap does not have a limitation on the maximum packet size. It actually 
interrogates the underlying miniport driver controlling the network card to 
know what is the maximum frame size.
Are the jumbo frames transmitted/received by the same PC where WinPcap is 
capturing? If not, it's entirely possible that your network card either doesn't 
support jumbo frames (quite strange) or simply by default it doesn't use jumbo 
frames. What network card are you using?

Have a nice day

Subject: [Winpcap-users] Problem with WinPcap capture with Jumbo frames


Hi WinPcap users,

I've used winpcap library in my application to capture TCP/IP packets and 
extract DICOM info from those packets.

 

It looks like the Winpcap is only able to capture "normal" size ethernet 
frames(1600 bytes) and not jumbo or super jumbo frames(e.g. 16kb). 

Maybe the default setting of WinPCap is to capture only normal size frames?

 

Can we configure ethernet frame size in WinPCap?

We are missing DICOM data in case of Jumbo frames in Fast gigabit Ethernet.

 

Kind regards,
