| What about using select() call to get the effect of waiting? I think that | select() is precisely designed for such a thing. It is generally used on | reading from sockets so it could be used on writing to sockets as well.

To me Posix asynchronous I/O seems to be a highly promising idea here, since it is possible to submit a packet and then have the kernel call you back to confirm that it has been dispatched.
