I'm looking at this, FreeBSD seems to better on all accounts except
writing the packets to disk.
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.
