Hello, My company is developing a simple proprietary protocol to communicate between ethernet ports. We are using the ethernet medium, and the WinPcap v2.3 library, to communicate reads, writes, and interrupts. A PC (Windows 2000) with an ethernet card serves as the master, and a development board serves as the slave. In our design, we have two different threads that send packets from the PC to the board, and one thread dedicated to receiving packets from the board. I have read the FAQ which states that there are problems with multiprocessor machines. After some testing, it seems that a single-threaded application can send and receive packets without dropping any. However, our multi-threaded application will occasionally drop some. There are no apparent deadlock issues in our app. My question is if the same issues with multiprocessor machines extend to multithreaded applications? Are there any tips that you have for using the WinPcap libraries in multithreaded applications?
Thank you in advance for your help, and great job with WinPcap - we have found it very useful! Errett _________________________________________________________________ Join the world�s largest e-mail service with MSN Hotmail. http://www.hotmail.com
