* @class PcapLiveDevice
* A class that wraps a network interface (each of the interfaces listed in ifconfig/ipconfig).
* This class wraps the libpcap capabilities of capturing packets from the network, filtering packets and sending packets back to the network.
* This class is relevant for Linux applications only. On Windows the WinPcapLiveDevice (which inherits this class) is used. Both classes are
* almost similar in capabilities, the main difference between them is adapting some capabilities to the specific OS.
* This class cannot be instantiated by the user (it has a private constructor), as network interfaces aren't dynamic. Instances of
* this class (one instance per network interface) are created by PcapLiveDeviceList singleton on application startup and the user can get
* access to them by using PcapLiveDeviceList public methods such as PcapLiveDeviceList#getPcapLiveDeviceByIp()<BR>
* Main capabilities of this class:
* - Get all available information for this network interfaces such as name, IP addresses, MAC address, MTU, etc. This information is taken
* from both libpcap and the OS
* - Capture packets from the network. Capturing is always conducted on a different thread. PcapPlusPlus creates this
* thread when capturing starts and kills it when capturing ends. This prevents the application from being stuck while waiting for packets or
* processing them. Currently only one capturing thread is allowed, so when the interface is in capture mode, no further capturing is allowed.
* In addition to capturing the user can get stats on packets that were received by the application, dropped by the NIC (due to full
* NIC buffers), etc. Stats collection can be initiated by the user by calling getStatistics() or be pushed to the user periodically by
* supplying a callback and a timeout to startCapture()
* - Send packets back to the network. Sending the packets is done on the caller thread. No additional threads are created for this task
