pcap_stat Struct Reference
[Definitions]

Structure that keeps statistical values on an interface. More...

#include <pcap.h>


Data Fields

u_int ps_recv
 number of packets transited on the network
u_int ps_drop
 number of packets dropped by the driver
u_int ps_ifdrop
 drops by interface, not yet supported
u_int bs_capt
 Win32 specific. number of packets captured, i.e number of packets that are accepted by the filter, that find place in the kernel buffer and therefore that actually reach the application. For backward compatibility, pcap_stats() does not fill this member, so use pcap_stats_ex() to get it.
