Access to ethernet via LabVIEW

[Beri]

Hi LAVA-Users,

I got a new project which goal is to realize a protocol analyzer in LabVIEW. At a first step we will try to get such an analyzer running on Ethernet interface.

At the moment I have no idea, how to get data directly from the interface in my LabVIEW. I only know the protocol-based functionality (e.g. TCP, UDP) in LabVIEW but not the access to the Ethernet interface itself.

The goal is to implement an analyzer which is similar to the Ettercap which can be found here

Thank you very much for every hint on this in advance.

Thanks Ben for that very quick response.

Positive that I had not missed that feature in LabVIEW, negative that it is not possible in native LV. I have found on the NI-page a project using WinPcap, I will check this one.
