Talk:Winpcap

No, this page should not be merged with tcpdump. WinPcap is a library for packet capture (a port of libpcap to Windows); tcpdump is a packet capture program that uses libpcap (the WinDump port of tcpdump uses WinPcap). Perhaps this page should be merged with the page for libpcap - and the page for pcap.

Unless somebody explains why they believe this page should be merged with tcpdump rather than, say, libpcap, I'll assume they were confused, and will change the suggestion to say it should perhaps be merged with libpcap. Guy Harris 21:23, 5 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Ahh, I didn't see the libpcap entry, yeah, that makes more sense. Alternatively, this article could stand alone, but both it and libpcap are fairly short, and there's no irreversible harm to merging them. --Interiot 22:35, 5 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
