                     29:  
                     30:     Libnet is an API to help with the construction and handling of network
                     31:     packets.  It provides a portable framework for low-level network
                     32:     packet writing and handling (use libnet in conjunction with libpcap and
                     33:     you can write some really cool stuff).  Libnet includes packet creation
                     34:     at the IP layer and at the link layer as well as a host of supplementary
                     35:     and complementary functionality.  Libnet is very handy with which to
                     36:     write network tools and network test code.  See the manpage and sample
                     37:     test code for more detailed information.
                     38:     
                     39:     Your old code (circa libnet-1.0.x) WILL NOT WORK with libnet-1.1.x.
                     40:     Read doc/MIGRATION for easy steps on porting your old code.
