Then, you can send the frame to the network, and +receive its response easily, because the response is automatically searched +for and matched against the request (not implemented for all layers). + +This package requires: perl-Bit-Vector, perl-Class-Gomor, perl-Net-IPv4Addr, +perl-Net-IPv6Addr, perl-Net-Libdnet, perl-Net-Pcap, perl-Net-Write and +perl-Socket6. All of them are avalaible from SlackBuilds.org. + +This is not the same module as perl-NetPacket! |
