DESCRIPTION§

SetPacketType sets passing packets' packet type annotations to TYPE. The packet type annotation tells Linux about the packet's link-level characteristics. For example, was the packet sent directly to this host, or was it broadcast? TYPE should be one of `HOST', `BROADCAST', `MULTICAST', `OTHERHOST', `OUTGOING', or `LOOPBACK'.
