[Winpcap-users] Kernel buffer

[Gianluca Varenni]

Hi.

The reason for this behavior is that the driver buffer is allocated in the kernel non-paged pool memory (i.e. kernel memory that is not subject to paging), and the upper limit for this pool on Windows NT(2000/XP/...) x86 is 256MB.

Have a nice day

  I have 2 gigs of RAM but I can't make the packet driver allocate more than 127 megs. Anybody has a slight idea of the reason of this behavior?


  Tnx
