It explains the functions and classes defined in Jpcap, and also provides comprehensive descriptions on how to program using Jpcap by showing some example codes. Jpcap is an open source library for capturing and sending network packets from Java applications. It provides facilities to: , and is implemented in C and Java. Jpcap has been tested on Microsoft Windows (98/2000/XP/Vista), Linux (Fedora, Ubuntu), Mac OS X (Darwin), FreeBSD, and Solaris.
Jpcap can be used to develop many kinds of network applications, including (but not limited to): from the host protocols (e.g., TCP/IP). Pcap. In the field of computer network administration, pcap (packet capture) consists of an application programming interface (API) for capturing network traffic.
Unix-like systems implement pcap in the libpcap library; Windows uses a port of libpcap known as WinPcap. Features[edit] libpcap and WinPcap provide the packet-capture and filtering engines of many open source and commercial network tools, including protocol analyzers (packet sniffers), network monitors, network intrusion detection systems, traffic-generators and network-testers. libpcap and WinPcap also support saving captured packets to a file, and reading files containing saved packets; applications can be written, using libpcap or WinPcap, to be able to capture network traffic and analyze it, or to read a saved capture and analyze it, using the same analysis code. The MIME type for the file format created and read by libpcap and WinPcap is application/vnd.tcpdump.pcap.
