Update description:

Announcing v4.5.1

This release contains contributions from a record number of new contributors. This is greatly appreciated since I am a team of one, and do Tcpreplay maintenance in my spare time.

There are many bug fixes and new features. Most notable features:

AF_XDP socket support – if you have a newer Linux kernel, you will be able to transmit at line rates without having to install 3rd party kernel modules (e.g. netmap, PF_RING)
-w tcpreplay option – this overrides the -i option, and allows you to write to a PCAP file rather than an interface
–include and –exclude tcpreplay options – allows replay of a list of specific packet numbers to replay. This may slow things down, so consider using in combination with -w.
–fixhdrlen tcpreplay option – added to control action on packet length changes
-W tcpreplay option – suppress warnings when replaying
SLL2( Linux “cooked” capture encapsulation v2)
Haiku support
