I'll need filtering capabilities like those of libpcap (or BPF).
However, libpcap does not seem (to my knowledge) to be able to send
packets. Since I intend to play tricks with the link layer, I think
I'll need to use BPF. Every OS seems to have its own prefered way of
filtering and sending raw frames, so maybe there's not much hope for
portability.

(I do not need portability; but if I can have it for a moderate price,
why not do it?)
