# libpcap
Libpcap provides a portable framework for low-level network monitoring.
Libpcap can provide network statistics collection, security monitoring and network debugging.
Since almost every system vendor provides a different interface for packet capture, the libpcap authors created this system-independent API to ease in porting and to alleviate the need for several system-dependent packet capture modules in each application.
