  Description     : libvdeplug plugin: packet capture library (pcap)

This libvdeplug module interconnects a client to an interface using the packet
capture library (pcap).  All the data that is received by this plug is
injected into interface and everything captured from that interface is sent to
the client.

Please notice that the pcap library captures and injects packets on the net,
packets sent by the host are not captured, injected packets are not received
by the host. So several clients using libvdeplug_pcap on the same interface of
the same host do not communicate among them (nor they communicate with the
host).
