Hi.
The capture speed depends on many things and it is not so easy to suggest a
trick to improve it.
Furthermore, what you're saying is that your app is missing packets, but
there is no indication whether WinPcap is the problem, your application is
the problem, or whatever.
WinPcap does its best; what you can do is probably decrease the amount of
load on your system (e.g. creating a faster capture application, switching
off any app/service that is not required; using a PC for capturing and
another for serving your requests...).
>From the WinPcap side, you can increase the kernel buffer (there's a
specific API for this) but you need to recompile your application. In any
case, this is not really a solution: this works in case your network has
network bursts (the kernel buffer stores packets suring the burst and it
delives to your app later). However, it does nothing in case of sustained
load.
Cheers,
