Any suggestions? Is there some pcap option that I need to look at?
If your dumps will fit into a RAM disk, use that, otherwise you're
presumably [1] going to be limited to how fast you can scribble the
packets to your disks. Figure out the fastest you can do that, and
then use dummynet to limit your network bandwidth to what your system
is capable of capturing...

I seem to remember that IPFlter has a facility for logging
packets where it's possible to deny forwarding of packets
if the process reading the logging socket has disappeared
or isn't reading fast enough. Am I wrong ?

I'm not sure. :-) If what you've suggested _is_ available, it would be a
better solution to the original problem....
