Package net.sourceforge.jpcap.simulator Description

Provides a simulator which has an external interface identical to the PacketCapture class available in the jpcap.capture package.

Instead of capturing packet data off a network, the simulator fabricates packets according to configurable properties and policies. Classes in this package are useful to developers working on applications that utilize the packet capture system who wish to specify or have a high level of control over network data arriving into their application during the development process.

Possible applications for the simulator are unit testing client packet capture applications or producing boundary case network traffic which is rarely encountered on a real physical network.
