Dimentrix recommends jnetpcap as the Java library of choice when reading packets off the network. We have used this library extensively in our flagship "sqlShark" (http://www.sqlshark.com) and it has performed admirably. Even under tremendous load, the memory usage was low and response time high. We are also very satisfied with the support given to us by Sly Technologies. Their engineers were prompt in resolving any issues, proficient in network programming and level of commitment was at par with any ISO certified organization.

We have been testing the latest 1.3 code (1.3.r1315 rc1). Several testers so far have reported positive feedback. For details about what was fixed visit the overview page.
All bugs were fairly minor and nothing serious or hard to fix had been found. The r1315 will be the basis for the full production release 1.3.0. No more betas. The same bug fixes have also been applied to 1.4 codebase. I don't like to release both 1.4 and 1.3 at the same as there is always plenty going on with a single release. So a couple of days after 1.3 is done, I will release the updated 1.4 with the latests as well.
