# This is experimental
This version is a successor of the _POSIX_C_SOURCE 200809L implementation in which all of the data of a parsed pcap/pcapng file is written as a single and simple query. This is rather fast (tested writes: 100*10^3 tcp packets in ~1.8 sec) but may be insecure.
Postgres databases have a custom maximum limit on each insert query of prepared statements. In order to solve this issue, parsed data is written in chunks. This value is initialized in the config file called parser.json as `insert_max`.
Currently, ethernet, IPv4 and TCP are the only network protocols handled.
