Sc. Dept., FRG Lines: 19 Distribution: world Message-ID: <211f6qINN4of@iraun1.ira.uka.de> Reply-To: borchert@ira.uka.de NNTP-Posting-Host: i50s19.ira.uka.de Keywords: socket AF_RAW Sun SunOS Sparc Sorry if this is misplaced on this group, but I have an urgent question on "raw socket" programming. This is to read and send packets with non-IP type codes in the IEEE header. I need this to port a distributed application using its own packet type code to Sparc's while maintaining interoperability with the PC-MSDOS version. Due to memory space restrictions (oh this silly MSDOS... 640k...) on the PC side, I would prefer to avoid IP on the Sparc against using TCP/IP on the PC. On SG/Irix, jou can just call socket(AF_RAW,SOCK_RAW,...). On my pizzabox, I could not find AF_RAW in the headers, and the Network Programming Guide does admit the existance of SOCK_RAW but does not explain its use. Any hints welcome.
