Jpcap is based on libpcap/winpcap. So Jpcap is supposed to work on any OS which supports libpcap/winpcap. Currently, Jpcap has been tested on Microsoft Windows, Linux, FreeBSD, and Mac OS X. Jpcap supports the following types of packets: Ethernet, IPv4, IPv6, ARP/RARP, TCP, UDP, and ICMPv4. Other types of packets are captured as raw packets (i.e., instances of the Packet class) which contains the whole data of the packets. This allows Java applications to analyze unsupported packet types. * Requirements: - Java Runtime Environment 6 or Java Development Kit 6 (http://java.sun.com) - libpcap ver.0.9.4 or higher (http://www.tcpdump.org) OR - WinPcap ver.3.1 or higher (http://winpcap.polito.it/) * Compile & Installation see 'doc/install.html' for how to compile and install Jpcap on your system. * Usage See the documentations under the directory 'doc'. You can also check some example source codes under 'sample' * Note You can redistribute it and/or modify it under the terms of the LGPL (GNU LESSER GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE).
