[Winpcap-users] snaplen in pcap_open_live

[Gianluca Varenni]

Carlo, 

snaplen is used only if you use a capture filter, as the snaplen feature is implemented as a filter. This is the standard behavior of snaplen on libpcap/winpcap.

If you want to use snaplen and you don't need a filter, please compile an empty filter (i.e. the string "").

Have a nice day

  Dears,


  I'm reporting a misbehaviour I encountered in both Windows Xp (SP3) and Windows Vista.


  Whatever value I provide as snaplen to pcap_open_live, it's ignored. Is it a normal behaviour?
  (I've tried it on Linux and it works perfectly as expected.)


  Thanks in advance.


  Best regards,


  Carlo Medas
