Is this normal pcap behaviour, or is it some
FreeBSD-specific behaviour, or is it just me?
It's unfortunately normal. You're running into this (from "man pcap"):
NOTE: when reading a live capture

Hello and thanks for your prompt answer...
I followed your (Jon Simola's) advice, so i defined
BUFSIZ as 2000, although my tutorial said it was
defined somewhere in the pcap headers, and added a
pcap_loop instead of the pcap_next. I also modified
the program to only show packets that are sent fro

Hello all,
I know this may sound funny, but I'm still wrestling

them. I tried also some example code of a toy sniffer
from a tutorial to pcap, and it behaves just like my
code. As my code is pretty compact, I'm posting it
here.

Sure. Are you trying to use non-blocking mode of PCAP by any chance? I found
that to be fairly busted on FreeBSD and would drop lots of packe
Uhmm...

Probably the answer is No, and that's why I'm getting
that behaviour
Thank yo
Hello all, and thanks for your input.
I was able to send packets using libnet, and i could
confirm that the messages were propperly sent using
tcpdump... Now I needed to read the packets from
another node, so I tried libpcap... then the problem
arised. It would wait for ages, even after I sent a
