<DIV><FONT size=2>snaplen is used only if you use a capture filter, as the
snaplen feature is implemented as a filter. This is the standard behavior of
snaplen on libpcap/winpcap.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=2>If you want to use snaplen and you don't need a filter, please
compile an empty filter (i.e. the string "").</FONT></DIV>

pcap_open_live</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr>Dears,
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>I'm reporting a misbehaviour I encountered in both Windows Xp (SP3) and
Windows Vista.</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>Whatever value I provide as snaplen to pcap_open_live, it's ignored. Is
it a normal behaviour?</DIV>
<DIV>(I've tried it on Linux and it works perfectly as expected.)</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>Thanks in advance.</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>Best regards,</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
