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).
