+In addition, libtrace can write traces in the following formats:
+
+ * pcap traces
+ * ERF (Extensible Record Format) traces
+ * WTF (WAG Trace Format) traces
+ * pcap interfaces
+ * Native Linux PF_PACKET interfaces
+
+Note that libtrace does not include support for writing packets to a network via the RT protocol. Documentation of the RT protocol can be found [wiki:RTProtocol here] which
+should enable programmers to write their own RT server.
+
+Also, currently there is no support for writing to native BSD BPF interfaces but this may be added in a future version of libtrace.

 == Format URIs ==
 Libtrace input and output sources are specified using URIs which describe both the format and location of the trace, interface or device in question.
