>>But, I find sending via a raw socket using SOCK_DGRAM not possible. I think u should use "SOCK_RAW" if u r planning for a "raw socket". and if u use "SOCK_DGRAM", it means u want "connectionless unreliable messages" i.e. datagrams... However, it is possible to bind a SOCK_DGRAM as well....check SO_BINDTODEVICE socket option..... Best answer.....man 7 socket, man socket...

I am using raw data send in a program. All I am doing is receiving data on a particular port, manipulating the packet by a raw receiving module, and trying to retransmit the packet to the interface, so that the data can be accessed by a different port, as manipulated by the raw receiver. But, I find sending via a raw socket using SOCK_DGRAM not possible. Do I need to bind my socket before sending via raw sockets ? Can someone please refer me to some good examples on sending data via raw sockets. Thanks a lot, Vasu. - : send the line "unsubscribe linux-net" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html *************************************************************************** This message is proprietary to Future Software Limited (FSL) and is intended solely for the use of the individual to whom it is addressed.
