It provides a +portable and simplified interface for low-level network packet +shaping, handling and injection. Libnet hides much of the tedium +of packet creation from the application programmer such as +multiplexing, buffer management, arcane packet header +information, byte-ordering, OS-dependent issues, and much more. +Libnet features portable packet creation interfaces at the IP +layer and link layer, as well as a host of supplementary and +complementary functionality. 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). +</longdescription> </pkgmetadata> |
