Thanks Stephen for the review. Sure, will use lib/pcapng.
I see dpdk libpcapng adds most of the debugging data, however I would like to add a node name to the packets which I am thinking of adding using 'comment' option under 'Enhanced Packet Block' .
Please let me know if that's fine.
Thanks,
Amit Shukla
