Hi All

I am having a small issue with the perl module Net::Pcap and was
wondering whether anyone has programmed with the module before.
The issue I have is related to solaris, where I am sniffing an interface
for icmp echo replies that have a destination mac address of the solaris
box i.e. replies from an icmp request I have sent out.

When I run snoop alongside my sniffer, snoop picks up the replies
immediately on the interface, but my sniffer will stall resulting in an
incurred time delay of the RTT (up to 35s in some cases)

Anyone come across this before?

Thanks
