Maybe you should start with considering what functionality you most urgently need from the new IP-SOCK_RAW interface, from the application point of view. Then have a look at the involved functions under Linux (e.g. raw_sendmsg for sending) and at similar functions for UDP and packet sockets under RTnet. Try to understand the pattern, the usual information flow, and adopt the Linux functions. Ask if details are unclear. BTW, for the overall picture of RTnet's data flow, there is that ETFA paper on the documentation page on www.rtnet.org. Jan
