    Packets are delivered as messages:

        {packet, DataLinkType, Time, Length, Packet}

    The DataLinkType is an integer representing the link layer,
    e.g., ethernet, Linux cooked socket.

    The Time is a tuple in the same format as erlang:now/0, {MegaSecs,
    Secs, MicroSecs}.

    The Length corresponds to the actual packet length on the
    wire. The captured packet may have been truncated. To get the
    captured packet length, use byte_size(Packet).

    The Packet is a binary holding the captured data.
