About the test
--------------

The tcpdump program is used to monitor IP packets.  There is no true test
involved other than sending output to a file and examining the data. Other
programs can do the same or better; have a look at the Ethereal program
for a good example.  The one big advantage tcpdump has is that it doesn't
require an X server to work.

About this version of tcpdump
-----------------------------

This is a modified version of tcpdump 3.4 provided to EPL by the good
folks at LanMedia. The modification allows tcpdump to see and work with
Cisco router packets.

The user is encouraged to read through the documentation for this program
before using it.

You'll need this
----------------

A version of the libpcap library is provided in this directory.  You'll need
to have the libpcap library compiled and working as mentioned in the tcpdump
README file before you'll be able to compile and use the tcpdump program.
The URLs for this and other useful programs are included in the tcpdump README
and on the EPL Linux-Tested Tools page.
