Hi, Unfortunately the support for Windows is still very experimental, and the developer that did it (a couple years ago) is not working on that anymore. Also, in that first prototype there was no support for "native" drivers, i.e. patched drivers for Intel or other NICs. Only VALE, netmap pipes and monitors were fully functional. For NIC access, emulated netmap was used. I think the prototype was developed for Windows 8.1. All the information we have are in this README.md file https://github.com/luigirizzo/netmap/blob/master/WINDOWS/README.txt 2018-05-31 14:29 GMT+02:00 Ramandeep Sandhu <rsandhu@interrasystems.com>: > Hello /netmap /Experts, > > I am new to using /netmap /and want to use it for capturing IP(UDP/RTP) > packets @ 10 Gbps lin-rate on Windows.

So any application is good: https://github.com/luigirizzo/netmap/tree/master/apps Another thing you may do is to look for Windows-related issues ( https://github.com/luigirizzo/netmap/issues). There are other Github users that tried to revive this piece of code and may help you.
