[Winpcap-users] loopback and LSP

[Kervin L. Pierre]

Hello,

I'm new to WinPCap but I've worked
with Win32 API/C++ for years now, and
would like to see loopback support in
the library.

I have heard that other libraries use
WinSock Layed Service Provider API to
accomplish this.

What type of filter is WinPCap?
Could the LSP approach work?  How much
effort would be involved?

Best regards,
Kervin
