We have a high performance (milliseconds count) server on which I'd like to install WinPCAP to capture some system interactions. Doing the capture externally to the machine is not feasible at this time.
However, I am hesitate to install WinPCAP for fear that its kernel packet driver might increase the codepath through which all packets (i.e., even during "normal" non-capture operations) flow. Does the mere act of installing WinPCAP have any performance implications on the windows networking stack? If not--> If I run Ethereal (uses WinPCAP) and then quit, do I need to reboot/restart the machine to completely disengage the capture drivers? If so, is there an easier way?
