Enables real-time packet sockets for RTnet. This support is
|
implemented in a separate module. When loaded, application programs
|
can send and received so-called "cooked" packets directly at OSI layer
|
2 (device layer). This means that RTnet will still maintain the
|
device-dependent packet header but leave the full data segment to the
|
user.
|
|
Examples like raw-ethernet or netshm make use of this support. See
|
also Linux man page packet(7).
