I think the -packet option needs to be surrounded by square braces in
the man page.

I may be misreading the man page, but I don't think it actually
explains what the -packet option does.  Should we document it at all?
Perhaps it should be hidden since it's only useful for unit testing.
If we decide to keep it, I would rename it "-p".  I found the man page
confusing because the option was named similarly to one of the
arguments to the trace command.

This seems like a strange choice of eth_type in this case.  Is there
any particular reason the size of the packet was chosen?

Seems fine otherwise.
