Hi everybody, I am new in the list !

I am going to try to write a program (with winpcap) to capture OSPF packets from a 
broadcast network and analyse the packets. Does anybody has an advice where I can find 
examples or already written codes for that ?

Furthermore, I do not even quite understand what is the process of a computer 
receiving a packet. I read in the list something like: the packets are copyed from the 
NIC driver buffer to the kernell driver buffer and then to the user application 
buffer. Could somebody give me a brief overview of the steps of receiving a packet ? 
Where does Winpcap act ? How to have access (find the address) of these buffers ?

As you can see I am a little bit confused. If somebody could give me a hint it would 
help a lot.
Thanks.

Beatriz
