  * the header must be inspected before attempting to decode the payload. Hence, the

  * For actually working with captured frames, it's useful to identify the packets via names and

  * all packet classes derive from QObject. The amount of overhead caused by the QObject is

  * pcap->open( "eth0" );
  * OPacket* p = pcap->next();
