[Winpcap-users] Issues with Multiple NIC cards

[Gianluca Varenni]

Srinivas,

it is definitely safe to capture from multiple cards (using for example a thread per card). The only function that is not thread safe is pcap_compile(), which uses some global variables to compile the filters. 

What is the exact reason for the crash? access violation?

  Hi,



  I wanted to check if there are any issues running with multiple NIC cards (4 fiber optic cards). We have one thread for each card doing pcap_next_ex( handle, &header, &data ). The app crashes all of a sudden. The dump doesn't show any particular location other then it happens in the functions relating to the packet captures. This doesn't happen with one NIC card. We are using win pcap version 3.1.



  Thanks in Advance,

  Srinivas
