pcap 2.4.0

A packet capture API around pcap/wpcap
Documentation
//! WinPcap/npcap sendqueue support module.
//!
//! Sending individual packets through WinPcap/npcap can be stunningly slow, since a user-to-kernel
//! transition is required for each packet transfer.  To alleviate this there's support for
//! queueing up a batch of packets in userland, requiring only a single transition to kernel to
//! transmit them all.
