What is tcpreplay?
-------------------

Tcpreplay is a tool to replay saved tcpdump files at arbitrary speeds.

This program was written in the hopes that a more precise testing
methodology might be applied to the area of network intrusion
detection, which is still a black art at best. 

Many NIDSs fare poorly when looking for attacks on heavily-loaded
networks. Tcpreplay allows you to recreate real network traffic from a
real network for use in testing.

What systems does tcpreplay support?
-------------------------------------

Tcpreplay is fairly portable, relying on libpcap and libnet for
packet capture and raw IP packet construction.

Tcpreplay has been successfully tested on

	- OpenBSD 2.x
	- FreeBSD 3.x
	- BSD/OS 3.x
	- Redhat Linux 5.x
	- Solaris 2.x

Who can use tcpreplay?
