Add support for additional link types

Open GyulyVGC opened this issue 2 years ago • 6 comments

Until v1.2.2, Sniffnet only supported parsing Ethernet packets.

With #421 support for interfaces based on raw IP and null/loopback was added to Sniffnet, covering the vast majority of possible use cases and scenarios.

Update: and with #945 also support for Linux SLL was added, allowing to monitor the any interface on Linux.


This issue is intended to track the possibility to add support for even more link types.

A full list of link types is available here.

Ran across this while trying to find out how to parse SLL packets from a pcap file and just wanted to point out for future searchers that this is about "sll" link type, not "ssl" link type.
