I'm unclear how this gives me a routable IP4 packet. I'm having
trouble finding
documentation on AF_PACKET but it appears to be a raw packet
interface.
So are you suggesting I implement UDP on top of it?
Also I'm unclear how this gets rid of the buffer copy between the
kernel and user
space.
By mmap I'm assuming you mean a memory mapped file. I'm unclear how that
helps.
