Hi,
How can one implement custom header network protocol.
I mean header that wraps regular network packets like ethernet, udp, tcp,
etc...
The sending of this custom packets is done between processes running
locally.
ie. I get a Ethernet packet, inspect it, then add my custom header and
forward
it to another process that listens to a socket, and expect to get data
wrapped with
this custom header.
What is a good way to go about and implement this thing?
Thanks,
Kfir

Have you looked at the tun/tap drivers?
Also, try asking this question on a network specific list.

They expect certain protocols and are not passing anything.
It is a bit ugly to go this way.
Also, try asking this question on a network specific list.

You might want to use datagram-oriented UNIX socket to communicate with
client processes.
Also you have to understand what do you want - getting UDP packets on
specific port doesn't require anything special, just bind()'ing to this
port. But you can get TCP segments only with SOCK_RAW socket.
Thanks,
