I believe it is possible with root on a device. However, the networks that 
you're attached to may case complications. Carrier networks may not pass 
your traffic, or you might be beating a hornet's nest a bit there. On WiFi 
networks things are a bit tricky too due to the way layer 2 is implemented. 
Just some thoughts...
