In the last episode (Oct 29), Isaac Gelado said:I set it to 0, so PCapLib should return the packet inmediatly.
I am developing a distributed application based on MICO (mico-2.3.9), which uses Packet Capture Library (PCapLib).
In the code, I create a posix thread to execute the pcap_loop function (this function waits until certain number of packets have been captured or infinite if the number is 0). When PCapLib captures a packet and pcap_loop is running it calls to a handle function inside the same thread.
This schema is working correctly in a linux machine, so when a packet is captured an CORBA event is sent to clients. But, when the server is running under FreeBSD 5.0, the handle function isn't executed when a packet is received. In FreeBSD the handle function is executed, for each packet, after certain time (maybe when the buffer of PCapLib is full), which is a problem because it sends events too fast to clients so the CORBA event service fails.
When you called pcap_open_live, what timeout did you set?
Can the problem be in the PCapLib implementation?
