description A C library for creating IP packets
libnet is a high-level API (toolkit) allowing the application \
programmer to construct and inject network packets. 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).
