How to stop receiving packets from pcap.net?

Question

I'm looking at pcap.net's ability to intercept packets from various devices.

Starting the process is really straightforward:

communicator.ReceivePackets(0, PacketHandler);

But after that, the process does not stop. Ever.

How do I forcibly close the packet capture?

What I did was offload that to a background worker (the whole capture process). — Nasreddine, Oct 19 '12 at 22:32
I used `PacketCommunicator.ReceivePacket(out Packet);` to receive the packets while the background worker wasn't canceled. and inside the `DoWork()` There was an infinite loop the did just that ( `ReceivePacket()` then process the captured packet). — Nasreddine, Oct 19 '12 at 22:48
In the mean time, I've found following function: Break. Seems to do the trick — Arsen Zahray, Oct 19 '12 at 23:14

Indeed, as you've mentioned in the comments, Break() is intended for that.
