Capture Packets in OpenWRT With eBPF: What to Know First
For an openwrt packet capture on a small router, that split keeps the job honest: `tcpdump` gives Wireshark a standard capture, while eBPF trades full packet.

You feel the pressure when network flows stall, and packet drop monitoring eBPF is the fastest way to surface the kernel’s reason for loss so you can act with confidence. We outline a practical path—attach an ebpf program to a tracepoint, capture events at the linux kernel, and export clear flow-level data to dashboards. This […]
