Description: Routines for the construction and handling of network packets.
libnet provides a portable framework for low-level network packet writing and
handling.
.
Libnet features portable packet creation interfaces at the IP layer and link
layer, as well as a host of supplementary functionality. Still in it's
infancy however, the library is evolving quite a bit. Additional functionality
and stability are added with each release.
.
Using libnet, quick and simple packet assembly applications can be whipped up
with little effort. With a bit more time, more complex programs can be written
(Traceroute and ping were easily rewritten using libnet and libpcap).
