<div>Gianluca,<br>
<br>
Thanks a lot for helping me. I am in a dire situation since my detector really needs that problem to be solved before our experiments in couple of months time (need to do a lot of debugging and code writing after Winpcap issue is solved).<br>
<br>
I am not loosing packets. Sorry if I made it confusing.<br>
<br>
The packets always arrive into my C code (although Wireshark may loose them, maybe that was a confusion with packets being lost). I only need my C code to work right. The rest of packets come only after the timeout.
<br>
<br>
I varied timeout from 1 ms to 20 sec and the effect is the same. With timeout 0 - the packets do not arrive until I push more packets into Chelsio card and these, in turn, push the once which were already in some buffer.
<br>
<br>
I am using Chelsio card, but Winpcap I downloaded from the official website (version 4.1.2).
<br>
<br>
The problem seems to be as if the function setmintocopy() does not work right and the driver decides by itself how much to buffer before sending it to me. One strange thing - the number of packets being delivered to me changes from time to time, however very
often number 31 (31 packets, 8234 bytes each) arrive in a single chunk. Sometimes it is 62 packets, sometimes other numbers, e.g. 57. etc.<br>
<br>
I will be very glad if someone ca advise something I can try to resolve that issue.<br>
<br>
Thanks again,<br>
<br>
Anton<br>

<p style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 12pt" class="MsoNormal">I hope someone can help my problem receiving packets in Windows7<br>
<br>
I am sending data by UDP packets from an FPGA through 10GB card (Chelsio). Using VC++ 2010 to compile code to receive them.
<br>
<br>
All packets arrive, no losses seen, but the problem is with the proper <b>operation of pcap_setmintocopy() function.</b>
<br>
<br>
<b>I send 64 packets with 8234 bytes each. Receiving them through pcp_next_ex() and I only get 31 packets (sometimes 62, sometimes 47, 50 packets) before the timeout occurs. After timeout the rest of the packets arrives.
<br>
</b><br>
I set the minimum amount of data in the kernel buffer that causes a read from the application to return (unless the timeout expires) to be 1 byte or it to be all 8234x64 bytes, no difference. Looks like the setmintocpy function has no effect on my kernel buffer
to be copied to my application. If I send another set of 64 packets - data arrives into pcp_next_ex(), still only in lamp of 31 (62, 47,50) packets
<br>
<br>
That is a big problem for my application.<br>
<br>
<b>Is there anything I am doing wrong or need to change something in the system/driver to make setmintocopy function to operate properly?<br>
</b><br>
Thanks a lot for your help, <br>
