[Winpcap-users] pcap_sendqueue_transmit() has 128MB limit?

[Adagio Grazioso]

GV,

Sorry to jump in - but I'm curious. Why even 2-3 queues? Why not just
1 queue in a loop? (Assuming of course that we are transferring the
same packet and not transferring different types of packet which would
require 2-3 MB and hence 2-3 queues)
