  • Abstract
    An architecture of WinPcap based virtual NIC driver is proposed for developing embedded network applications. It makes it possible to develop applications with real network traffic using simulation environment in PC rather than the embedded hardware, reduce development cycles while keeping the cost down. A test method with the tool of Iperf is proposed to test the throughput, packet loss rate for performance and feasibility evaluation of the architecture.
