Re: [WinPcap-users] About Multithreading

Hi David.   As i said it is rare that it locks up under normal use. Normal use means that it brigdes data between some computers over the internet, at a max rate of 512/512 Kbit/s. It seems that the problem is most likely to appear when there is heavy trafic to/from the computer that runs my bridge, on the lan side that is. (Bridge runs on my file server) When there is heavy traffic, the cpu load can get pretty high, not shure why though.   J.

I did not find the reason.   how many times your app or your server lock ups ?     David ----- Original Message ----- From: J.

The bridge is multithreaded, one thread only reads, the other one only writes, and except for a few lockups it has worked fine for years. Now, from previous post i understand that one can open multiple handles to the same adapter at the same time without problem. My bridge has always just opened it once, and passed this adapter handle to both the reader and writer thread, meaning that the two threads read and write to/from it simultaniously. Could this be the reason for the lockups ? (its rare but it happens)   Thanks J. Thomsen
