requirements.

I'm using packETH 1.4 to send packets.


I found that Ethereal cannot monitor all of the packets if I send
100000 (or more) packets (100 bytes per packet) consecutively with a
delay between packets of 8 us (= 0.008 ms = 0.000008 s), i.e. at
least
some percent of the packets cannot be captured in Ethereal.

tcpdump would probably be the fastest.
If you're spewing packets that fast, are you sure all the packets
actually made it to the wire? Maybe the problem's in transmission.
