+ Tcpreplay is a suite of utilities for UNIX systems for editing and replaying
+ network traffic which was previously captured by tools like tcpdump and
+ ethereal/wireshark. The goal of tcpreplay is to provide the means for
+ providing reliable and repeatible means for testing a variety of network
+ devices such as switches, router, firewalls, network intrusion detection and
+ prevention systems (IDS and IPS).
