- Conditions

1. Output of Ethernet and IP headers
   
2. Using while statement to write multiple times
   
3. Read the part that contains the length of the IP header first, then cut the IP header part based on the value and parse it.
   
4. The IP header option does not need to be considered.
   
5. Write only when Ethernet Type is IPv4
   

● packet_sniffer.py
○ -i : NIC Name

● server.py
○ -p: port number for connection

● client.py
○ -p: port number for connection
○ -i: host address

Input Example (Packet Sniffing)

$ python3 packet_sniffer.py -i lo

Input Example (Client-Server)

$ python server.py -p 8888
$ python client.py -i 127.0.0.1 -p 8888

● Result for Packet Sniffing by packet_sniffer.py

● Result for Socket Communication between Server-Client by server.py and client.py
