This module is a unified framework to craft, send and receive packets at layers 2, 3, 4 and 7. Basically, you forge each layer of a frame (Net::Packet::IPv4 for layer 3, Net::Packet::TCP for layer 4 ; for example), and pack all of this into a Net::Packet::Frame object. Then, you can send the frame to the network, and receive it easily, since the response is automatically searched for and matched against the request.
