Winpcap is deprecated

Winpcap is not longer developed see https://www.winpcap.org/install/, it may be an issue for future windows versions. (even though winpcap support only until windows 8 and it is still working)

They recommend using https://npcap.com/oem/redist.html but it is not open source (https://npcap.com/vs-winpcap.html)

See also https://github.com/the-tcpdump-group/libpcap/blob/master/doc/README.Win32.md

Note wireshark uses npcap: see https://www.wireshark.org/docs/wsdg_html_chunked/ChLibsPcap.html

PcapPlusPlus could help in lidarview: https://github.com/seladb/PcapPlusPlus -> does note support pcap random access (only implemented on pat marion winpcap). We used libtins instead (implemented in lidarview-core!524 (merged) & !141 (merged))
