[asio] promiscuous mode?
If winpcap or some such library is installed on a machine is it possible to have asio read from the Ethernet card in promiscuous mode? Ryan

Is possible, but would need to build a new backend for it to read from the winpcap service instead of the normal TCP stack.

It might be less efficient, but a quick implementation might be to use a helper app that just reads packets sequentially (e.g., tcpdump), then have the ASIO-based program process the output from that helper asynchronously. t.
