1. which language is ethereal written in ? i suppose in C using
winsock.h for windows and BSD Berkely sockets API in linux/unix ? am i
right
2. i m working on a project to reduce bandwidth usage from client side
? i have reached the stage where i can read packets raw at network
layer using recv function. how do i now drop packets ? my idea is to
drop packets at network layer and thus TCP will think there is
congestion and reduce the speed of sending packets . is my logic
right.

Please help me friends. I am new to network programming.
