[Winpcap-users] Is it possible to use the wincap as the Tx/Rx datapath of my own TCP/IP protocol stack?

[Gianluca Varenni]

Hi.

Just a couple of notes regarding your problem:
1. lwIP (http://www.sics.se/~adam/lwip/) uses WinPcap (as far as I remember well) to work under Windows.
2. Apart from the problem of coexistence with the standard TCP/IP stack explained on the other replies, consider that you may have performance/latency issues using WinPcap: WinPcap has been created with high performance capture in mind, sometimes at the expense of a higher latency while receiving packets.

Have a nice day

  Hi! 
      I am developing an network enable embedded device. I need to setup a simulation environment to test my TCP/IP protocol stack in windows. 
  1. Can I use the winpcap as my network driver(winpcap can get/send the packet to ethernet chip) to connect with my TCP/IP protocol?  
  2. Can my TCP/IP protocol coexist with microsoft's winsock and work normally? If no, how can I turn off the winsock to let the network chip just works for my TCP/IP protocol stack? 

  Thanks!
