[Winpcap-users] Two way traffic collision?

[Emma Jin]

Hi, 
 
I ran into problem again and am coming to ask for help again:)
 
I have three PCs, let's say A, B, and C. A and C both connect to B directly (B has multiple NICs). 
 
I am running an application on B. The application starts one thread for each NIC connecting to A and C. The thread listens for incoming packets and replaces the source and destination MAC address and sends the packets out through the other NIC (so the packets from A will be forwarded to C, and the packets from C will be forwarded to A). 
 
I tested the application with video. I sent the video (with bandwidth of 2M) from A to C. No problem. I sent five videos (total bandwidth of about 10M) from A to C. No problem. I tried the other way from C to A. No problem either. But whenever I tried two way traffic (both from A to C and from C to A), even if there is only one video each way, the packets got lost. 
 
It seems the two way traffic are affecting each other. Is there anything special I need to do to resolve this problem? I am using pcap_next_ex and pcap_sendpacket to receive and send the packets. All of my PCs are running XP.
 
Thank you,
 
Emma
