[Winpcap-users] Performance issues and c# wrappers

[Black, Michael (IS)]

I just compiled the SavingPacketsToADumpFile from pcap.net which does exactly what you're talking about.



Doing a few tests on my 25Mb internet connection I don't see CPU usage over 4%.



I do have an 8-core 3Ghz system and some decent disks so you're mileage may vary...

Thank you so much for your answer. I think I should explain about my problem a little bit more. I want to listen a network which has an internet connection around 50mbit/sec. My problem is i have to use C# for this program and so i need to wrap winpcap to use it. There are some open source C# wrappers like sharppcap and pcap.net<http://pcap.net/>. I wonder if i use these wrappers can i listen and capture 50mbit/sec without packet loss. Is using a wrapper will reduce the performance of winpcap? I just need to listen, capture and save them to a dump file so my wrapper will not be much a big project. Do writing my own little wrapper help me to reduce performance reduction?
