How To Install libnetpacket-perl on Debian 9
Introduction

What is libnetpacket-perl
libnetpacket-perl is:
NetPacket provides a base class for a cluster of modules related to decoding and encoding of network protocols. Each NetPacket descendent module knows how to encode and decode packets for the network protocol it implements. Consult the documentation for the module in question for protocol-specific implementation.
Note that there is no inheritance in the NetPacket:: cluster of modules other than each protocol module being a NetPacket. This was seen to be too restrictive as imposing inheritance relationships (for example between the IP, UDP and TCP protocols) would make things like tunneling or other unusual situations difficult.
