(the following is copied from the website, not the actual package
description to be used)

Pcapy-NG is a Python extension module that enables software written in
Python to access the routines from the pcap packet capture library. It
is a replacement of Pcapy, which is not maintained any more and stopped
working altogether on Python3.10 (Issue).

From libpcap's documentation: "Libpcap is a system-independent interface
for user-level packet capture. Libpcap provides a portable framework for
low-level network monitoring. Applications include network statistics
collection, security monitoring, network debugging, etc."

Daniel
