+ LIBNET 1.1 (c) 1998 - 2004 Mike D. Schiffman <mike@infonexus.com>

+===============================================================================
+
+ A C library for portable packet creation and injection.
+
+ Libnet is an API to help with the construction and handling of network
+ packets. It provides a portable framework for low-level network
+ packet writing and handling (use libnet in conjunction with libpcap and
+ you can write some really cool stuff). Libnet includes packet creation
+ at the IP layer and at the link layer as well as a host of supplementary
+ and complementary functionality. Libnet is very handy with which to
+ write network tools and network test code. See the manpage and sample
+ test code for more detailed information.
+
+ Your old code (circa libnet-1.0.x) WILL NOT WORK with libnet-1.1.x.
+ Read doc/MIGRATION for easy steps on porting your old code.
