DESCRIPTION
Net::Libdnet provides a simplified, portable interface to several low-level networking
routines, including network address manipulation, kernel arp cache and route table lookup
and manipulation, network firewalling, network interface lookup and manipulation, network
traffic interception via tunnel interfaces, and raw IP packet and Ethernet frame
transmission. It is intended to complement the functionality provided by libpcap.
All the original and obsolete functions return undef and print a warning message to the
standard error when a problem occurs. The obsolete functions are: addr_cmp, addr_bcast,
addr_net, arp_add, arp_delete, arp_get, intf_get, intf_get_src, intf_get_dst, route_add,
route_delete, route_get.
These obsolete functions will continue to work, to keep backward compatibility, but should
not be used anymore. The new APIs should be preferred. There are two new APIs, one is the
low-level one, matching libdnet functions, and the other one is a high-level API, matching
a more Perl object oriented programming. This latest one is highly preferred.
Net::Libdnet module implements the low-level API. The high-level API is accessible by
using the following modules: Net::Libdnet::Intf, Net::Libdnet::Route, Net::Libdnet::Fw,
Net::Libdnet::Arp, Net::Libdnet::Eth, Net::Libdnet::Ip and Net::Libdnet::Tun.
