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