Hi,
How is IPPROTO_RAW supposed to work? I thought that I could send raw ip
packets unchanged to the network. I use this:
raw = socket(AF_INET, SOCK_RAW, IPPROTO_RAW);
and use this flag in the IP header:
ip->ip_p = IPPROTO_TCP;
However, the packet that finally reaches the network has IPPROTO_RAW in
its IP-header! Can I change this functionality?
Can I listen to all tcp packets that my machine receives if I use
SOCK_RAW and IPPROTO_TCP?
This is on vanilla 1.3.
Thanks,
Geir Inge.
