摘要：Huge packets drop, more time required to capture the packets, frequent system calls, etc. are the major
obstacles in fast packet capturing. There are many available packet capturing frameworks in the market, but all of them
have these as major problems. In data plane packets are transferred to user level through kernel space. The Data Plane
Development Kit (DPDK) software reduces these problems by bypassing the kernel level. High performance packet
capturing tool (PackCap) is proposed here, which enhances the performance characteristics of packet capturing by
increasing speed at 1 GBps. With PackCap packets are captured with the maximum speed and with less packet drops.
PackCap ports TCPdump on DPDK by socket creation between the two. The kernel level is bypassed in this PackCap
tool. PacCap only considers data plane packets, other packets like control plane packets are not considered. PackCap can
be used by network administrator to inspect packets, to solve network problems and to determine whether network
security policies are being followed.
