Hi All,

As far as I know, libpcap is capable of packaging certain amount of binary
data in the form of an Ethernet frame.

I wonder if libpcap is capable of combining several Ethernet frames
constructed by itself or obtained from  a live capture in the form of a PCAP
file.


constructing raw frames with a C program: look at the documentation for
pcap_dump() on how to save them to a pcap formatted file -- but you have
to construct the frames yourself (or read them from somewhere... libpcap
has methods you can use to capture from a interface)

live capture: use tcpdump or wireshark to save pcap files, and use
tcpslice to combine pcap files
