In order to introduce loss into a controlled manner to the PCAP files using the Markov error traces, a tool called

pcaploss, available in source code form, is available and attached in the package (including Makefile). This tool

takes a pcapfile as input and transforms it into another altered pcap. The usage message for pcaploss is:

pcaploss: Usage: ./pcaploss <pcap_in> <pcap_out> <loss_file> [<#pkts>]

where the format of the loss trace file isaccording to the format introduced in section 6.7.3.3.2.1. If the optional integer

argument #pktsis present, only the number of packets indicated by #pktswill be read in pcap_inbefore

pcaplosscloses the output file and stops.
