capturing pcap with 10 gig card

[Rawan Kersh]

Hi 

I'm using your library to capture UDP packets, I'm using a packet list (vector) like in your tutorial and then writing the packets to a pcap file.

I have heavy traffic so I have a lot of drops, is there a way to optimize the grabbing ? 

I'm only grabbing for a couple of milliseconds then I'm stopping writing to a file and exiting,

so the only bottleneck is in capture.

Hi Rawan,

If you're capturing heavy traffic, libpcap is probably not the right tool. You should consider using DPDK.

You can read about PcapPlusPlus DPDK support here: https://pcapplusplus.github.io/docs/dpdk

Unfortunately I don't know a way to capture such heavy traffic on Windows...
