Yeah, instead of making one big mega object that takes lots of
messages, there could instead be a suite of objects like one for live
capture, one for reading/writing files, one for translating port
numbers to services, whatever is appropriate.

Hans, so your proposal is to split the current pdpcap in 2 different
objects: one for live (net device) capturing and a second one for
pcap file reading?I like Mathieu's suggested name:1) the Mathieu's reasoning about
naming, 2)the objects I think is differentiated of pdp, 3)doesn't

Yes it can be renamed, I named pdpcap when I started the object (PD +PCAPlib)...,... pcap could be a good name....any suggestions?
name the package "pd-pcap" and the pd library file "pcap.pd_linux"
for example.Several programming languages use such naming... the hyphen makes it
like a namespace in the package-manager, and the complete lack of
the "pd-" prefix in the context of pd makes it look like you're
loading the original "pcap" itself into Pd (which, of course, makes
a lot more sense if that's exactly what your lib does : a plain
wrapper and nothing else). I think that this is the kind of naming
that users of several other programming languages have come to
expect (Perl, Python, Tcl, Ruby, PHP, etc.)

If nature has made any one thing less susceptible than all others of
exclusive property, it is the action of the thinking power called an
idea, which an individual may exclusively possess as long as he keeps
it to himself; but the moment it is divulged, it forces itself into
the possession of everyone, and the receiver cannot dispossess himself
of it. - Thomas Jefferson
