I have a question concerning tcp packet sniffing with golang. We have written a small tool which captures all incoming TCP packets comming from a fibre Tap.

The current implementation uses a libpcap wrapper under Linux. We need to port this tool to Windows. Of course, it is not possible at the moment.

So my question is, is there a cross platform solution for sniffing packets? We only need TCP packets, IP headers , no Ethernet Data and not all features of libpcap.

If there is no cross platform solution, two Code implementation would be ok, too. I know one can use raw sockets under Linux (and with some limitations under Windows). Does Golang support raw sockets and is there an example implementation for sniffing packets with sockets?

Tanks!! :-)
