> Like documentation for Libpcap,

So do you want to know how packets are handled by Linux, or do you want
to use libpcap, which hides the details of how packets are handled by
the underlying OS, so you don't *have* to know how they're handled by
Linux - libpcap handles that for you?

For documentation on libpcap, start with "man pcap", and see also the
"Libpcap tutorial" link from

	http://www.tcpdump.org/related.html

That link takes you to
