Dear all,

I am going to build a application network monitoring in real time. I have found out two ways to build it.

1. We can virtual driver module hook to Netfilter running in kernel & use Netlink to communicate with user space application.
	2. Using pcap library to do it.

But I could not make decision because I don't know which ways is the best way. Why we use it? Could someone help me to have decision or give me a comments. Thank you very much and appreciate for help.

Regards,
Nhanle
