Overview

Package packet provides the implementation of packet sockets (see packet(7)). Packet sockets allow applications to:

• manually write and inspect link, network, and transport headers
• receive all traffic of a given network protocol, or all protocols

Packet sockets are similar to raw sockets, but provide even more power to users, letting them effectively talk directly to the network device.

Packet sockets skip the input and output iptables chains.
