hi @fklassen any progress on the topic?

i have seen there's some progress with tcpreplay_api.h but i cannot find examples how to use it after compiling it.

We shelved this because there was no interest. Do you have an application? If so, I'll assign to a future release.

Well, i would like to be able to extract the statistics the tcpreplay provides and broadcast them with a websocket service, for example. at the moment i have to start tcpreplay with a fork/exec method and i have to pipe the stderr, stdout of the tcpreplay so that i get that statistics but thats very error prone and race conditions might occur (i have not determined if that's my current problem).

being a library (tcpreplay) will ease a lot my application's implementation for the statistics and for the actual pcap replay.

Thanks. Scheduled for 4.4 release.
