Unfortunately Ruby/Pcap is a very thin wrapper to the underlying
library, which makes it a little less Rubyish than one would like -
in particular passing in configuration strings is just ugly. Still,
it works as advertised and is great for quick sniffing/logging tasks.
My colleague Romek and I use it extensively for our DNS work and he
covered it very briefly as part of our RailsConf Europe presentation
last year. Needless to say there were some baffled faces in the
audience lol
