I would to know a which level Wireshark samples the IP packets.
I use a mobile phone as a modem (DUN). A flow control permits to
adjust the data flow from the PC to the modem.
We have a downlink and a uplink data flow.
Because of this flow control, we can see that the downlink TCP data
are not acknowledge immediately.
I would like to know where wireshark samples the data?
When the data leave the ipstack or when the data leave the PC?
(stack ip -> USB -> modem)
On Windows (which it sounds like you're running), Wireshark uses the
WinPcap library to do the actual capturing. You can find more
information on WinPcap at their web site, http://www.winpcap.org,
including links to mailing lists where they may be able to provide
more details for you.
