GoPacket

This library provides packet decoding capabilities for Go. See godoc for more details.

Minimum Go version required is 1.5 except for pcapgo/EthernetHandle, afpacket, and bsdbpf which need at least 1.9 due to x/sys/unix dependencies.

Originally forked from the gopcap project written by Andreas Krennmair ak@synflood.at (http://github.com/akrennmair/gopcap).
