[Winpcap-users] Multiple NICs

[Gianluca Varenni]

If the two applications run on the same PC, even if bound to two different IP addresses assigned to two different NICs, the traffic will not hit the wire at all. The traffic between the two applications is routed directly by the TCP/IP stack, and will not reach the NIC card.

Hope this helps

  Hello.

   

  I have a scenario where I have multiple NICs installed in my PC.  I have 2 applications running, each bound to a separate NIC/IP Address and sending UDP traffic between the two applications.

   

  When attempting to capture this traffic, though, Wireshark is only capturing broadcasts.  Is there some issue when capturing this type of traffic on the same PC?  

   

  Best Regards,

  Coleman
