Check out the 'man 7 socket' man page and read up on
raw packet sockets.  You can format a packet down to
the ethernet header and send it directly to the
interface transmit queue...
And all this safely from user-space.

MAC address instead of IP

2005-03-14 Thread Donald Duckie
Hi!

I am looking for some sample codes which uses MAC
address instead of TCP-IP for data transmission. Any
suggestions are highly appreciated.

And also, I have been digging into ethertap.c and
netlink_dev.c, but I cant fully understand how these
codes work. Where can I see some detailed explanations
of these source codes? What I usually see in a search
are compilation error problems and the like.

Thank you very much for any kind of information.


Regards.
