std::string	getVendorName (const pcpp::MacAddress &addr)

Detailed Description

Provides vendor name matching functionality from MAC addresses. It uses an internal database to define name of the vendor. The class itself should be initialized by using initOUIDatabaseFromJson() otherwise all requests will return "Unknown" as vendor. The class itself currently does not support on-fly modifying the database but anyone who wants to add/modify/remove entries, should modify 3rdParty/OUILookup/PCPP_OUIDatabase.json file and call to initOUIDatabaseFromJson() function to renew the internal data.
