libpcap: A system-independent interface for user-level packet capture.

Name:	libpcap	Vendor:	Scientific Linux
Version:	0.9.4	License:	BSD
Release:	11.el5	URL:	http://www.tcpdump.org

Summary

Libpcap provides a portable framework for low-level network monitoring. Libpcap can provide network statistics collection, security monitoring and network debugging. Since almost every system vendor provides a different interface for packet capture, the libpcap authors created this system-independent API to ease in porting and to alleviate the need for several system-dependent packet capture modules in each application. Install libpcap if you need to do low-level network traffic monitoring on your network.
