-Packet.dll is a dynamic link library that offers a set of low level functions
-to:
-<ul>
- <li>install, start and stop the NPF device driver</li>
- <li>Receive packets from the NPF driver</li>
- <li>send packets to the NPF driver</li>
- <li>obtain the list of the available network adapters</li>
- <li>retrieve various information about an adapter, like the description and
- the list of addresses and netmasks</li>
- <li>query and set various low-level parameters of an adapter</li>
-</ul>
-<p> There are two versions of packet.dll: the first one runs under Windows 95/98/ME, the second
-one is for&nbsp; Windows
-NT/2000/XP.</p>
-<p>Packet.dll was created to provide a layer to access the low level
-functionalities of WinPcap in a system independent way. This library handles all
-the system-dependent details (like managing the devices, interacting with the OS
-to manage the adapters, looking for the information in the registry and so on),
-and exports an API that is uniform across all Windows OSes. In this way,
-applications or libraries based on it can run without being recompiled
-under any Windows operating system. </p>
-<p>However, not all of the packet.dll API is totally portable: some advanced features, like kernel-mode dump, are present only in the WinNTx version of WinPcap,
-while packet.dll for Win9x does not provide them. On the other side, the NTx
-version is a superset of the 9x one, in other words all the function present in
-the Win9x version are present in WinNTx too.</p>
-<p>The other important feature of this library is its ability to handle NPF driver.
-Packet.dll transparently installs and starts the driver when an application
-attempts to access an adapter. This avoids the manual installation of the driver
-through the control panel.</p>
-<h2>Important note, read carefully!</h2>
-<p>The source code of Packet.dll is freely available and completely documented.
-However, packet.dll should be considered an internal API, because its purpose
-inside WinPcap is to be a building block for the real public API: wpcap.dll.</p>
-<p>As a consequence, since the <b>normal</b> and <b>suggested</b> way for an
-application to use WinPcap is through wpcap.dll, <b>we don't guarantee that the packet.dll
-API will not be changed in future releases of winpcap, and we don't provide
-support for this API</b>. For the same reason, <b>this manual doesn't contain
-any more the Doxygen-generated documentation of Packet.dll</b>: the user will
-have to run Doxygen on his own to create it, or read the comments in the source
-code.</p>
