Listen in promiscuous mode (Sniffer) on UDP port 162 and copy packets to another port

[Henko Gouws (H)]

Dear reader




An application A opens UDP port 162 and listens for incoming packets.
We have another application B that wants to receive the same
information from UDP port 162 but this application cannot open the
port 162 because it is already opened by application A.  We want both
A and B to receive information from port 162.




Does anyone know how to implement such a solution using Python or give
relevant advice?  Alternatively does anyone know about any postings
that involved Ethernet sniffers or Python programs listening to
network traffic in promiscuous mode?




Thank you




regards
