373 * On AIX (4.2 at least), if BIOCIMMEDIATE is not set, the
374 * timeout appears to be ignored and it waits until the buffer
375 * is filled before returning. The result of not having it
376 * set is almost worse than useless if your BPF filter
377 * is reducing things to only a few packets (i.e. one every
380 * so we turn BIOCIMMEDIATE mode on if this is AIX.
382 * We don't turn it on for other platforms, as that means we
383 * get woken up for every packet, which may not be what we want;
384 * in the Winter 1993 USENIX paper on BPF, they say:
386 * Since a process might want to look at every packet on a
387 * network and the time between packets can be only a few
388 * microseconds, it is not possible to do a read system call
389 * per packet and BPF must collect the data from several
390 * packets and return it as a unit when the monitoring
391 * application does a read.
393 * which I infer is the reason for the timeout - it means we
394 * wait that amount of time, in the hopes that more packets
395 * will arrive and we'll get them all with one read.
397 * Setting BIOCIMMEDIATE mode on FreeBSD (and probably other
398 * BSDs) causes the timeout to be ignored.
400 * On the other hand, some platforms (e.g., Linux) don't support
401 * timeouts, they just hand stuff to you as soon as it arrives;
402 * if that doesn't cause a problem on those platforms, it may
403 * be OK to have BIOCIMMEDIATE mode on BSD as well.
405 * (Note, though, that applications may depend on the read
406 * completing, even if no packets have arrived, when the timeout
407 * expires, e.g. GUI applications that have to check for input
408 * while waiting for packets to arrive; a non-zero timeout
409 * prevents "select()" from working right on FreeBSD and
410 * possibly other BSDs, as the timer doesn't start until a
411 * "read()" is done, so the timer isn't in effect if the
412 * application is blocked on a "select()", and the "select()"
413 * doesn't get woken up for a BPF device until the buffer
