Yes, I can't explain why but every call to pcap_dispatch from my application results (when linked with AIXs version of pcap) in a BIOCIMMEDIATE call. The disassembly indicates that pcap_read performs this call, whether you like it or not. > That's grotesque.

I'm not convinced it is necessary since tcpdump (which is not linked with this pcap) does not do so. Cheers, Shaun - This is the TCPDUMP workers list.
