+ 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."
