Can any of the winpcap people explain exactly how they measured the disk performance? The graph's title is: "WinDump performance" under the section called "WinDump capture performance". I'm very curious how they managed to run "windump" on FreeBSD. I'd also be interested in at least getting a copy of their emulator. :) Honestly, it really looks like the fault lies with the way tcpdump writes to disk and not with FreeBSD. -- -Alfred Perlstein - [bright@wintelcom.net|alfred@freebsd.org] "I have the heart of a child; I keep it in a jar on my desk."
