The other options shown in the figure are up to the needs – they are neither limited nor required by Qosium. See below what needs to be checked in the installation wizard. If you choose Npcap, install it to WinPcap-compatible form. Thus, please check the license conditions of Npcap if you are considering using it. Please bear in mind that unlike with WinPcap, Npcap’s free use is not unlimited. Npcap uses NDIS 6.x, so it should support also those NIC’s that WinPcap no longer does. Unlike WinPcap, it is under continuous development. Npcap is a newer packet capturing library, which is based on WinPcap. Thus, if your NIC works with WinPcap, there is no imminent reason to stop using it. NDIS (Network Driver Interface Specification) is the API for NICs used by Windows-based systems. Despite the fact that it has not been updated for years, and uses the nowadays deprecated NDIS 5.x, it still works with most of the system configurations even in the newest versions of Windows 10. WinPcap (version 4.1.3) is one option for Qosium. In Windows, there are at least three supported alternatives for packet capturing, which are discussed in the following sections.
