1 This is libpcap, a system-independent interface for user-level packet
2 capture. libpcap provides a portable framework for low-level network
3 monitoring. Applications include network statistics collection,
4 security monitoring, network debugging, etc. Since almost every
5 system vendor provides a different interface for packet capture, and
6 since we've developed several tools that require this functionality,
7 we've created this system-independent API to ease in porting and to
8 alleviate the need for several system-dependent packet capture modules
