If an normal application has to use something like raw packet
filtering, it seems there is a missing API.
I'm loosely following this discussion, but Ben mentions DHCP
and I remember learning the other month that DHCP uses AF_PACKET
and filtering instead of IP RAW sockets because it needs to get
the MAC address and RAW sockets don't provide that.
sounds like a socket option would help, the data is already there. Then
the normal
UDP receive path would work.
