+Net::Packet - a framework to easily send and receive frames from layer 2 to
+layer 7
+
+This module is a unified framework to craft, send and receive packets at
+layers 2, 3, 4 and 7.
+Basically, you forge each layer of a frame (Net::Packet::IPv4 for layer 3,
+Net::Packet::TCP for layer 4; for example), and pack all of this into a
+Net::Packet::Frame object. Then, you can send the frame to the network, and
+receive its response easily, because the response is automatically searched
+for and matched against the request (not implemented for all layers).
+
+This package requires: perl-Bit-Vector, perl-Class-Gomor, perl-Net-IPv4Addr,
+perl-Net-IPv6Addr, perl-Net-Libdnet, perl-Net-Pcap, perl-Net-Write and
+perl-Socket6. All of them are avalaible from SlackBuilds.org.
+
+This is not the same module as perl-NetPacket!
