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. |
