Hi all,

I have invested quite some time trying to get the raw sockets available.
It seems that even if we managed to get RockSaw running on all systems, we 
would require the lib to run with setuid as root or have to run the application 
as root. From a security standpoint this is not a thing I would be comfortable 
with.

I did however stumble over the project pcap4j, which seems to offer a JNI layer 
for accessing libpcap. What seems to be cool about that is that we might even 
be able to go beyond IP and implement Ethernet packages with that.

Pcap4j is licensed with a MIT license:
https://github.com/kaitoy/pcap4j/#license

So, I guess we can use that. As the library requires libpcap, the license of 
that is the 3-clause BSD:
http://www.tcpdump.org/license.html

Justin, as far as I understood things, we can use this set of libraries, 
correct?
https://www.apache.org/legal/resolved.html
Both are treated as compatable.

Chris
