+ Libnet is an API to help with the construction and handling of network
+ packets.  It provides a portable framework for low-level network
+ packet writing and handling (use libnet in conjunction with libpcap and
+ you can write some really cool stuff).  Libnet includes packet creation
+ at the IP layer and at the link layer as well as a host of supplementary
+ and complementary functionality."
