Hello! I'd like some info on a more efficient way to talk to a raw Ethernet network. Right now I have an app that's using BPF for this. Transmissions works great but there's a ~1.8s lag between physical packet reception and when they appear on BPF, which is unacceptable for my purposes. And sending regular packets out (ie pings) will keep incoming packets from showing up until the output stream stops. Anyone know of a better way to handle this? Or is it time to hack on bpf? Also, BPF's select() needs work anyway, see kern/9355. Would that be a more productive target?
