Hello Guys,

We have planned to plug a new dissector to already available family of 
dissectors in Wireshark (Linux).

A very brief idea is that Libpcap will be capturing packets (around 160-180 
bytes) every 20 mili-sec from interfaces and will be providing the same to 
dissector.
There will be some significant number of interfaces available for such 
operation.

Can anyone please let me know if it is a possibility that dissection of packets 
may take significant time (considering complex nature of protocol) and 
capturing takes a backseat and some packet may get dropped? Is there a 
possibility that capturing is always on (at the highest priority) and whenever 
time is available dissection and display activities may be carried out?

Please provide your valuable feedback.

Regards,
Gaurav
