Hello list. As far as documentation goes, some sense may be presumed in libpcap calling posix_fadvise() with POSIX_FADV_SEQUENTIAL. This way the OS would be able to adjust the buffers better to read the .pcap file. Does anybody have any practical experience with posix_fadvise() to comment if the gain is ever visible with present day hardware and OSes?
