21<H3>SUMMARY</H3>
22<UL>
23	<STRONG>Note:</STRONG> This document is part of the libpcap Git and was derived from 'pcap.3' (circa Aug/07).
24	<P>
25	The ACN provides a customized/distributed version of this library that alows SMPs to
26	interact with the various IOPs within the site providing a standard mechanism
27	to capture LAN and WAN message traffic.

43	<P>
44	Each IOP will be capable of supporting multiple connections from an SMP
45	enabling monitoring of more than one interface at a time, each through
46	its own seperate connection.  The IOP is responsible to ensure and report
47	an error if any attempt is made to monitor the same interface more than once.
48	<P>
49	There are three applications that will be supported by the ACN version of libpcap.
50	They each use a slightly different mode for looping/capturing and termination
51	as summarized in the following table:

71	<B>Note: </B>In all cases, the termination of capturing is always (apparently) followed by
72	pcap_close().  Pcap_breakloop() is only used to stop/suspend looping/processing,
73	and upon close interpretation of the function definitions, it is possible to resume
74	capturing following a pcap_breakloop() without any re-initialization.
