The number of packets that Wireshark (or, I suspect, any network analyzer) can deal with is limited; due to a number of factors, the GUI widget used to implement the packet list display being one of them (it allocates a string for the text value in every column, which eats a lot of memory), Wireshark's limit might be lower than some other analyzers. This is not a limit saying something such as "Wireshark can't read more than 1,227,399 packets"; the point at which it'd run out of memory depends on the contents of the packets. However: > or > Should I look into my code for possible memory mis-management. it is not inconceivable that there might be a leak in your code, so it might be worth looking at that - but don't necessarily expect that it'll fix the problem. _______________________________________________ Wireshark-dev mailing list [email protected] http://www.wireshark.org/mailman/listinfo/wireshark-dev
