POSIX Threads

[Isaac Gelado]

Hello all,
  I am developing a distributed application based on MICO (mico-2.3.9), 
which uses Packet Capture Library (PCapLib).

  In the code, I create a posix thread to execute the pcap_loop function 
(this function waits until certain number of packets have been captured 
or infinite if the number is 0). When PCapLib captures a packet and 
pcap_loop is running it calls to a handle function inside the same thread.

  This schema is working correctly in a linux machine, so when a packet 
is captured an CORBA event is sent to clients. But, when the server is 
running under FreeBSD 5.0, the handle function isn't executed when a 
packet is received. In FreeBSD the handle function is executed, for each 
packet, after certain time (maybe when the buffer of PCapLib is full), 
which is a problem because it sends events too fast to clients so the 
CORBA event service fails.

  Why happens this?

Thanks and Regards
