Because it just relies on libpcap to write capture files. > or in libpcap directly ? (via zlib) That could probably be done, given that libpcap files are written purely sequentially. Having libpcap *require* zlib would probably not be a good idea (Ethereal, for example, supports reading gzipped files if you have zlib, but if you have a system without zlib, Ethereal can still be compiled, it just can't read gzipped files). - This is the TCPDUMP workers list.
