libpcap 1.5.1

This is a handy little library which provides a packet filtering mechanism based on the BSD packet filter (BPF). Most notably, tcpdump needs this to work, and there is also a perl module (still in beta) which can use this as well. In plain english, if you want to write your own network traffic analyzer, this is the place to start.



RELEASE NOTES: This release (compared to the previous release 1.4.0) has improved autoconf scripts, adds support for TPACKETV3 on Linux, adds a new API function, improves handling of memory management failures, fixes compiling on Solaris 11, adds support for E1 SS7 traffic on MTP2 layer Annex A, and adds many new DLT types.
