c++ - Setting up a server using Boost-ASIO for Wireshark to connect to and receive packets? -

i trying create simple server using asio in order send packets wireshark view them using remote interfaces feature.

this code sets server , waits connection.

void server(boost::asio::io_service& io_service, unsigned short port) {      tcp::acceptor a(io_service, tcp::endpoint(tcp::v4(), port));      (;;)     {         auto psock = std::make_shared<tcp::socket>(io_service);          auto handler = [psock](const boost::system::error_code& err) -> void         {             if (err)             {                 psock->close();                 return;             }             auto buf = connecttonamedpipe();             streamout(psock, buf);             psock->close();         };         std::cout << "awaiting connection" << std::endl;         a.async_accept(*psock, handler);         io_service.run();     } } 

this code sends packet once client connects

void streamout(std::shared_ptr<tcp::socket> psock, const std::pair<std::unique_ptr<char[]>, std::size_t>& b) {     ::boost::system::error_code ec;      write(*psock, ::boost::asio::buffer(b.first.get(), b.second));      (;;)      {         char a;         std::cin >> a;         if (a == 'e')             return;     } } 

however when wireshark connect (using remote interfaces tab in manage interfaces dialog), hangs , stops respond until close application. there other data need send wireshark before starts sending data? sending data incorrectly? server not set correctly?

wireshark "wire-tap".

you don't "send packets viewing" , doesn't "connect" application.

instead, wireshark taps nic , sees packets transmitted. so, instead connect server regular client (like netcat) , have wireshark monitor nic(s) involved.

you can, simplicity, capture traffic on network adaptors @ once, believe.
