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).

Libnet is distrubuted under the BSD license.
