Hi,
I have an application which uses libpcap 0.7.2 to monitor network traffic by tracking the size of IP packets as well as their source and destination. One of our QA people just encountered a rather odd error on Solaris 8 which we have never seen before:
recv_ack: info: Unexpected primitive ack DL_UNITDATA_IND
Does anybody know what this means? It seems to have occurred while calling pcap_open_live (snaplen is sizeof(struct ip) + sizeof(struct ether_header), promisc is 1, to_ms is 100).
Does it always happen or just sometimes? A DL_UNITDATA_IND is basically saying "Hi there, here is a packet" in DLPI speak. It looks like the stream is sending one of those up to the application when libpcap isn't expecting it.
