<DIV>Hello, </DIV>
<DIV>I am working on an IDS project for Windows XP. I am using WinPcap to sniff packets from 1 network adapter. The project is build in Visual Studio 2008 / NET Framework 3. The capturing thread is a BackgroundWorker which uses pcap_next_ex to capture pachets. For each packet, I have to get tcp/udp information and store it in a hashtable, so there are only a few operations that needs to be done for each packet.</DIV>
<DIV>When I test the application on high traffic (>2MB/sec), the Mem Usage becomes ridiculously high, after 10 mins : 600-1000MB of RAM used, and 30-40 processor usage, and Growing :( What can be the cause of that ? I don't save packet data in memory...</DIV>
<DIV>Does the pkt_data pointer has to be de-allocated in some way after processing information?</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Thank you,</DIV>
<DIV>Andrei Popa</DIV></DIV></DIV></div><br>
