### Deviations from upstream

This code is based on [dpkt code](https://code.google.com/p/dpkt/) lead
by Dug Song.

At this point, this is not the exact [upstream
version](https://code.google.com/p/dpkt/). If you are looking for the
latest stock dpkt, please get it from the above link.

Almost all of the upstream changes are pulled. However, some modules are
not. Here is a list of the changes:

-   [dpkt/dpkt.py](https://github.com/kbandla/dpkt/commit/336fe02b0e2f00b382d91cd42558a69eec16d6c7):
    decouple dnet from dpkt
-   [dpkt/dns.py](https://github.com/kbandla/dpkt/commit/2bf3cde213144391fd90488d12f9ccce51b5fbca)
    : parse some more DNS flags
