Thank you Stepen. My kernel is 2.6.27.45 :). I am taking bpf string like "host <ip>" from command prompt and doing "pcap_compile_nopcap". Create my filter and do setsockopt but I am not able to get result i wanted. May be i am doing something wrong in creating filters. I am using link type as DLT_RAW.
