#define PCAP_SAMP_NOSAMP   0
 No sampling has to be done on the current capture.

#define PCAP_SAMP_1_EVERY_N   1
 It defines that only 1 out of N packets must be returned to the user.

#define PCAP_SAMP_FIRST_AFTER_N_MS   2
 It defines that we have to return 1 packet every N milliseconds.


Detailed Description


Define Documentation

#define PCAP_SAMP_1_EVERY_N   1
 

It defines that only 1 out of N packets must be returned to the user.

In this case, the 'value' field of the 'pcap_samp' structure indicates the number of packets (minus 1) that must be discarded before one packet got accepted. In other words, if 'value = 10', the first packet is returned to the caller, while the following 9 are discarded.

#define PCAP_SAMP_FIRST_AFTER_N_MS   2
 

It defines that we have to return 1 packet every N milliseconds.

In this case, the 'value' field of the 'pcap_samp' structure indicates the 'waiting time' in milliseconds before one packet got accepted. In other words, if 'value = 10', the first packet is returned to the caller; the next returned one will be the first packet that arrives when 10ms have elapsed.

No sampling has to be done on the current capture.

In this case, no sampling algorithms are applied to the current capture.
