RE: WinIP DLL

["RAGHAVENDRAN H. (SSG) - CTD, Chennai." <raghavh () ctd hcltech com>]

Hi List/Dug:

I took a look at libdnet. It looks good. However, my feeling on this is that
Win32 requires a separate library. Porting libdnet is a good idea; however
the actual output will no longer be a "port"; it will resemble a separate
implementation (more on the lines of WinIP or libraw or whatever). 

So, I think it is about time Win32 had a network library of its own.
LibnetNT was a good port. However, it has lived its time. We need a much
more powerful library that can support PCAP and Raw Sockets both at the same
time and provider features similar to libdnet.

May be the library interfaces can be similar to libdnet. Just thinking...

Regards,
Raghav

any chance you'd be interested in working on the win32 port of libdnet
(http://libdnet.sourceforge.net/) instead?
