Hi,I have written a small bridge program using LIBPCAP API. I have installed 
Winpcap 3.1 Beta for support in order to capture from a PPP interface. What i 
do is, I capture from the PPP interface through my LIBPCAP program and send the 
traffic to another Ethernet interface in my computer. Then i connect this 
Ethernet Interface to another Ethernet Interface at another computer where i 
monitor it through Wireshark.So in short my PPP-Ethernet Bridge is on computer 
1. And Another computer2 directly connected to computer1 on Ethernet monitors 
the incoming traffic from the bridge through wireshark.The problem i face is 
that when i capture PPP traffic through wireshark in computer1, i see 
reasonable delay between the packets. But when i use my LIBPCAP program to 
capture and relay traffic and check the traffic on computer 2 using Wireshark 
it gives jumps of 0.5seconds delay after some packets. This is quite 
unexplainable to me. I dont understand how wireshark PPP direct capture on 
computer 1 does not give delay and LIBPCAP program is giving delay.I have 
checked my bridge for Ethernet to Ethernet relaying and there is no delay like 
the one i am experiencing in case of PPP-Ethernet. a higher delay between 
packets is acceptable but such a BIG delay after a couple of packets is 
unacceptable. Please help if you can.
Best Regards Akif
