Hi!
NeTraMet v44b10 uses pcap(3) and complains about timestamps jumping backwards. Looks like a PF_PACKET socket doesn't receive the packets in the correct order. Some timestamps from a "tcpdump -tt":
RX: 1001465480.175100 [...] TX: 1001465480.179111 [...] RX: 1001465480.177315 [...] ^^^^^^ TX: 1001465480.180514 [...] RX: 1001465480.179706 [...]
The receive packets are in order, as are the transmit packets.
Anything which absolutely _requires_ all TX and RX packets to be in precise order, should really be fixed not to have such a weird restriction.
