Pakket: libnet0-dev (1.0.2a-2)

library 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).
