I don't know. Perhaps one of the developers will answer? If you only send frames on your 'send-only' interfaces on occasion, perhaps you can keep the interface closed and only open them when needed? That is, open, send, close. (i.e. don't keep them open). I doubt there would be much chance for a packet to come in during that split second you send a packet. That would be one way to minimize the issue. Another might be to set a capture filter for that interface that you know will always be false. Or maybe set the capture length to zero? <shrug> Bottom line: I can't answer your question because I don't know. Someone else or one of the developers is going to have to answer. Hope that helps SOME. -- "Fish" (David B.
