    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 ~~~~~~
