Hi Jeremy,
I'll try to explain, what we're doing:
- tune the cards on their respective transponders
- create a network interface for each card using a PID
- set the network interfaces into promiscous mode, as we want to see
_all_ IP traffic
- start the monitoring application
--> it binds to an interface using a raw socket and does some
traffic analysis
--> I have not seen the source code of our app, yet. If you need more
details, do not hesitate to ask me.
The problem is that on each od the created network interfaces we see the
traffic of all DVB adaptors combined.
regards.
