=s comm

transports raw IP packets via safe raw sockets (user-level)

=d

Reads data from and writes data to a raw IPv4 socket. The raw IPv4
socket may optionally be bound to a source port number in the case of
TCP/UDP, a GRE key or PPTP call ID in the case of GRE, or an
identifier in the case of ICMP. Binding a port to a raw IPv4 socket to
reserve it and suppress TCP RST and ICMP Unreachable errors, is
specific to PlanetLab Linux.

Keyword arguments are:

=over 8

=item SNAPLEN

Unsigned integer. Maximum packet length. This value
represents the MRU of the RawSocket if it is used as a
packet source. If the MRU is violated by the peer, i.e. if a packet
longer than SNAPLEN is sent, the connection may be terminated.

=item PROPER

Boolean. PlanetLab specific. If true and Click has been configured
--with-proper, use Proper to bind a reserved port.

=item HEADROOM

Unsigned Integer. Amount of headroom to reserve in packets created
by this element. This could be useful for encapsulation protocols
which add headers to the packet, and can avoid expensive push
operations later in the packet's life.
