+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.
