    Hi,

     

    I'm trying to send 'raw' Ethernet frames. I have however not found any
    examples of how to do this in BSD.

    Is it possible to open a 'ethernet' socket, similar to a AF_INET? I need to
    be able to control the destination address and type/len field in the
    Ethernet header.

    In Linux it is possible open a SOCK_RAW and bind it to a particular
    interface, I've tried to use the sockadd_dl but in this case bind dies with
    error 22, any way to do this?

      ... PPPoE adds the mac address amongst other things on top of the 8 bytes that eat out of the 1500 ethernet payload limit. ... the header for Ethernet frames of type 0x8864 ... This is not the case as ADSL uses ATM/AAL5 and in the case of PPPoE the mac gets sent in the AAL5 frame as well as other overheads - for PPPoA it doesn't. ...
