How does TrafMeter capture the packets from network ?
TrafMeter uses the free WinPcap driver as the packet capture engine. WinPcap includes a kernel-level packet filter, a low-level dynamic link library (packet.dll), and a high-level and system-independent library (wpcap.dll). The packet filter is a device driver that adds to Windows 95, 98, ME, NT, 2000 and XP the ability to capture and send raw data from a network card, with the possibility to filter and store in a buffer the captured packets.
