I want to know if is possible that I get lost data because of capture.
If for example in wireshark I see first packet with sexuence number 1,
second with 3, third with 4 and so on. Is possible that second packet
(with seq num 2) is lost because third packet (seq num 3) comes and is
captured before the second? Is here any buffer (if yes, how long?) to
wait for right packet with right seq number.
I capture with dumpcap with flags -w, -c and -i with no dropped packet.
The capture mechanism just takes whatever packets it can get, it does
not look at sequence numbers before accepting the packets.
That being said, of course there are buffers that could fill up if
you're capturing a lot of traffic but that has nothing to do with the
sequence numbering (if any) in the packets.
