You'll probably only manage that if the underlying low level device driver (or preferably the hardware itself - because of interrupt mitigation) adds a rx timestamp to the frame AND that value is made available through the pcap library. That might mean a very recent linux kernel (there are current discussions on netdev about timestamps). David - This is the tcpdump-workers list. Visit https://cod.sandelman.ca/ to unsubscribe.
