ps_recv: it refers to the number of packets received by the driver. ps_recv is 
incremented even if the packet is dropped because the buffer is full.
ps_drop: driver refers to the WinPcap kernel driver used to capture packets. 
ps_drops is incremented if a packet is received by the WinPcap kernel driver 
but cannot be stored in the kernel buffer because the buffer is full.

Question about the struct type  pcap_t. 
  

      u_int ps_recv 
        number of packets transited on the network 
        
      Does  it refer to  the number of packets that reaches the kernel buffer? 
      u_int ps_drop 
        number of packets dropped by the driver 
        
      Here, what does 'driver' refer to ?
