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 <a href="www.tcpdump.org">libpcap</a>). <hr size="1"><address style="align: right;"><small>Generated on Wed Mar 10 13:23:37 2004 for libnet by ! 13: <a href="http://www.doxygen.org/index.html"> ! 14: <img src="doxygen.png" alt="doxygen" align="middle" border=0 > ! 15: </a>1.3.4 </small></address> ! 16: </body> ! 17: </html>
