Hi,

Yes, repeater is in this case a much better description than mirror ;)

>for pcap_open()?
That seems to be exactly what I need for my application! Till now I've always used pcap_open_live and this function doesn't work with the flags.

Actually it seems to work, even in promiscuous mode. Thanks!

Regards,
Johannes
