With raw sockets, you are still bound to using IP packets (even if you intentionally create bogus ones). They will be encapsulated in ethernet packets, when the link goes out via ethernet.
BPF can be used to read/write ethernet packets too, for example, while raw_sockets cannot.

Never ask a man what OS he uses. If it's a BSD, he'll tell you. If it's not, why embarrass him? ..I'm sorry.. _______________________________________________ freebsd-hackers@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-hackers To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
