Nanosecond precision timestamps in libpcap for RHEL6

Solution Verified - Updated -

Issue

We would like to be able to have nanosecond precision in libpcap on RHEL6. One way to do this would be to include support for the “pcapng” file format, which includes the support for nanosecond timestamps. This support started (limited read support) in libpcap 1.1.x back in early 2010.
