We are doing a project that required us to change some chatacteristics of the TCP protocols and/or add a buffer into the TCP layer also. It seems to us that the SOCK_RAW or SOCK_PACKET are good choice to override the TCP or even IP level of the networking software. Unfortunately, we cannot find any documents or sample programs about SOCK_RAW or SOCK_PACKET... :~( Please help us out ~~~~~~
