org.pcap4j.sample.Loop only shows Hex stream

[jdrews]

While I have your attention, I was hoping you could help me discover how I'm doing this wrong. The below code never prints out "IpV4Packet: " or "Dot1qVlanTagPacket: ". I have a feeling the problem is closely related to the reason why sample.Loop only spits out a Hex stream. I followed the examples SendArpRequest.java and Loop.java.

While debugging, I've discovered "packet" has no IpV4Packet class. But I was pinging this computer from somewhere else, so I'm reasonably sure at least one of the packets was an IPv4 packet.

Any help you could offer would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

You just need to add a packet factory module (i.e. pcap4j-packetfactory-propertiesbased.jar or pcap4j-packetfactory-static.jar) to class path.

That was the solution. Thanks!
