[tcpdump-workers] libpcap and PF_RING
I'm confused as to what is required for libpcap to use PF_RING. Most of the hits I have seen while searching for this are ancient and refer to libpcap 0.8. Can anyone please provide a link or summarize what must be done for libpcap to use PF_RING on a relatively modern Linux x86_64 system. I am in particular interested in RHEL5/6. Thanks. ___ tcpdump-workers mailing list tcpdump-workers@lists.tcpdump.org https://lists.sandelman.ca/mailman/listinfo/tcpdump-workers

I could have sworn that PF_RING support was integrated into the mainline libpcap sources sometime in the last couple 2-3 years. But it appears now that it's still necessary to use a patched version of libpcap, and that the patch is not maintained by the core libpcap developers. Is that correct? ___ tcpdump-workers mailing list tcpdump-workers@lists.tcpdump.org https://lists.sandelman.ca/mailman/listinfo/tcpdump-workers
