Npcap rpcapd SERVER support

Hi there,

I gave a try at rpcapd (via WinPCAP on Windows and libpcap master on Linux) and it seemed to fit our usage nicely. It seems broken (it probably worked one time out of ten and when it doesn't it reports some number of packets but won't forward them) on Windows 2016 (and probably Windows 10 from some reports I saw) but works fine on Windows 2012.

I quickly looked at different mailing lists & issues trackers hoping the problem was already reported or known and I stumbled on npcap.

WinPCAP seems frozen and I don't have much hope to make it work out the box without probably having to debug/recompile it (and I'll probably have issues later since I won't be able to sign it? I'm not well versed in Windows development, sorry :)).
Installing npcap in WinPCAP compatibility mode will make rpcapd.exe simply quit immediately and there doesn't seem to be an rpcapd server embedded with npcap.

Do you have any plans to provide rpcapd (which is now available from libpcap with configure --enable-remote) and the corresponding service or do you have any clue why npcap's compatibility mode seems to make rpcapd.exe from WinPCAP exit?

Thanks!

Regards.

The issue names rpcapd.exe and libpcap's configure --enable-remote entry point; start by reproducing its behavior in WinPCAP compatibility mode and comparing it with Npcap. Done would require a defined, working rpcapd server and corresponding service on supported Windows versions, but the report names no files or tests.
