explain = <<- EOExplain
tcpreplay is a tool for replaying network traffic from files saved with
tcpdump or other tools which write pcap(3) files.
EOExplain;

detail = <<- EODetail
The basic operation of tcpreplay is to resend  all  packets  from  the
input file(s) at the speed at which they were recorded, or a specified 
data rate, up to as fast as the hardware is capable.

Optionally, the traffic can be split between two interfaces, written to
files, filtered and edited in various ways, providing the means to test
firewalls, NIDS and other network devices.

man-doc = <<- EOMan
.SH "SIGNALS"
tcpreplay understands the following signals:
@enumerate
@item @var{SIGUSR1}
Suspend tcpreplay
@item @var{SIGCONT}
Restart tcpreplay
@end enumerate

.SH "SEE ALSO"
tcpdump(1), tcpprep(1), tcprewrite(1), libnet(3)

.SH "BUGS"
tcpreplay can only send packets as fast as your computer's interface,
processor, disk and system bus will allow.

Replaying captured traffic may simulate odd or broken conditions on your
network and cause problems.

Some operating systems by default do not allow for forging source MAC
addresses.  Please consult your operating system's documentation and the
tcpreplay FAQ if you experiance this issue.

When enabling verbose mode (@var{-v}) you may also specify one or more

are decoded.  By default, -n and -l are used.   Be  sure  to
quote the arguments like: -A "-axxx" so that they are not interpreted
by tcpreplay.  The following arguments are vaild:
    [ -aAeNqRStuvxX ]

By default, tcpreplay will send packets based on the size of the "snaplen"
stored in the pcap file which is usually the correct thing to do.  However,
occasionally, tools will store more bytes then told to.  By specifying this
option, tcpreplay will ignore the snaplen field and instead try to send
packets based on the original packet length.  Bad things (TM) may happen if
you specify this option.
