epcap_net and pkt #4

Closed ates closed 12 years ago

ates commented 12 years ago

Hello Michael,

What is the difference between epcap_net and pkt modules? As far I see these are identical. What is the sence to have pkt as dependency for epcap? Which one is prefered to use to decapsulate packets?

Thank you.

Will close this issue, found the note in epcap_net module:

%%% Code has moved to:
%%% https://github.com/msantos/pkt

-module(epcap_net).
-deprecated(module).

Sorry for disturb :)

Hey Artem!

Sorry for the confusion. I split epcap_net out of epcap into pkt so other projects wouldn't have a dependency on libpcap.

I've kept epcap_net around because I haven't fixed the examples on my blog. Eventually (probably soon) I'll remove epcap_net completely.

Let me know if you have any other questions!
