packetdrill

A fork of packetdrill which adds support for

• UDPLite as specified in RFC 3828
• SCTP as specified in RFC 4960, RFC 4820, RFC 6458, and RFC 7053

and generic bugfixes, espcially several fixes required to get packetdrill working on FreeBSD. MacOS (El Capitan and higher) is also supported.
