Wireshark · Ethereal-users: [Ethereal-users] [at]ethereal vs tcpdump - Performance

["Tinga Shilo" <tingashilo@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

 

A person working with me claims that in high volume traffic

both ethereal and tethereal seemed to lose packets, while tcpdump

didn't.

My response to this was, that while with ethereal, as a GUI application, this might make sense,

tethereal practically uses the same libpcap as tcpdump (maybe more ?),

and should not differ from tcpdump.

 

Was I right ?

If I am, what facts can make my case stronger ?

 

If I'm wrong, don't tell him :-)
