Orencan you please generate a small program that we can use to reproduce the 
bug? Honestly nothing comes to our mind

Hi Oren,
do you have two threads per RSS queue (4 in total?), or one thread per RRS 
queue (2 in total)?

In libpcap/PF_RING we receive packets in zero copy (see pcap-linux.c) and this 
could explain the behaviour in case of 4 thread. Is this the case perhaps?

Regards Luca

Hi,

We are experiencing a strange issue with PF_RING/libpcap with the packet 
payload changing right under the hood within the callback, without any apparent 
reason.The flow is basically running two threads on eth2@0 and eth2@1 RSS queues

callBack()pcap_read_packet()
pcap_read_linux()
pcap_dispatch()
..
main()

I am working on simplify and generate an example though it is not an easy task.

A potential hint is that the issue correlates with being at the end of the

Any advice would be welcome,

Best,Oren
