Use pcap_open() and open with the PCAP_OPENFLAG_MAX_RESPONSIVENESS flag:

	http://www.winpcap.org/docs/docs_412/html/group__remote__open__flags.html

The libpcap equivalent is to use pcap_create() and pcap_activate() and, between the pcap_create() and pcap_activate() calls, call

	pcap_set_immediate_mode(handle, 1);

in libpcap 1.5 and later (or to set immediate mode in a platform-dependent fashion in previous releases).
