Feature #3131
Updated by Davide Pesavento over 9 years ago
We disabled TPACKET\_V3 in #1511 as a workaround for a Linux kernel bug. The bug was finally fixed in Linux v3.19, released earlier this year. Recently libpcap also received some patches to improve its behavior with TPACKET\_V3 and recent kernels.
We should detect if the system has a recent enough combination of kernel and libpcap, and stop disabling TPACKET\_V3 in that case. This should improve the performances of the EthernetFace receive path, and might help with #2441.
