Hi all,

I would like to get more students involved and would be interested in acting
as a mentor. For the below osmo-pcap codebase I have a set of bite sized tasks
(of different size) and it would be great if we could get some students to
pick some of these.

The only requirement should be interest to learn to program in C, some self
motivation (e.g. use your favorite search engine before asking) but besides
that the skills are not that important.

  Hi,

 I wrote a very primitive client and server for PCAP. The osmo_pcap_client will
 use libpcap to sniff on a local link, we have the usual VTY interface to
 configure it, one can change the filter and the device at runtime.

 There is also a very simple server that authenticates clients based on the
 remote address, that will write the pcap files to disk. The files will be
 rotated based on time and size, but also when the Link Header of a client is
 changing. The traffic is not encrypted yet but that is on the todolist.

 The code can be found in our git repository[1].
