Description:
To quote 'packet(7)':
Packet sockets are used to receive or send raw packets at the device driver
(OSI Layer 2) level. They allow the user to implement protocol modules in
user space on top of the physical layer.
Sockets in the 'PF_PACKET' family get direct link-level access to the
underlying hardware (i.e. Ethernet or similar). They are usually used to
implement packet capturing, or sending of specially-constructed packets or
to implement protocols the underlying kernel does not recognise.
