Raw sockets

[John Ioannidis]

Has anybody used raw internet-domain (AF_INET, SOCK_RAW) sockets in 4.2bsd? 
Specifically, in what ways do they differ from SOCK_DGRAM sockets?
(Apart from the fact that you have to be root to use them!)
Do you have a sample program/program fragment using them?

Please respond by mail -- I'll summarize if there is enough interest.
Thanks in advance,
