Hi. WinPcap is thread-safe in the same manner as libpcap is: all the APIs regarding opening/closing adapters and receiving/sending packets are thread safe (in the sense that you can use them with different adapters on different threads).
The only API that is not thread safe is "pcap_compile" (which is code from libpcap), that uses some global variables to compile the filters, as you can see in this answer given by Darren on the libpcap mailing list: http://www.tcpdump.org/lists/workers/2004/04/msg00173.html Have a nice day GV ----- Original Message ----- From: "Andreas Rieke" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Thursday, April 22, 2004 7:45 PM Subject: [WinPcap-users] Is WinPcap thread-safe? > Hi there, > > is WinPcap really thread-safe?
