Description:
libpcap is a ubiquitous network traffic capture library used by a wide variety of BSD, Linux and UN*X applications. Whilst FreeBSD has a vendor branch import of libpcap in its source tree, the purpose of the port is to provide a means of offering additional, bleeding-edge features which might not make it into the tree.
