Hi
I want to add BPF support to IPA (/usr/ports/sysutils/ipa).
But I want to use one process for some BPF filters. I'm going to
use pcap(3) library, because it understands human filter requests
in pcap_compile(3).
So, here is my question. Is it possible to use some pcap_dispatch(3)
functions in one process? I need to use pcap_dispatch(3) only for
counting number of bytes, I don't need to check network packets.
If it possible to use some pcap_dispatch(3) functions and BPF filters
will not lose network packets (on fast network traffic), how is it better
to implemet this?
I am not sure that it will be correct to call somehow pcap_dispatch(3)
functions in loop and here is my second question. Is it possible to use
pcap(3) routines in different threads? Is pcap(3) library thread safe?
Thanks in advice.
