I recently completed the beej's guide and wrote a few network programs after that. But, I really want to learn about raw sockets. So far, all the tutorials I've looked at are either too short or don't make any sense at all. Help?

Better to read-up about the dlpi APIs than to learn raw sockets which are very sparsely supported.

you don't understand because you have no idea about network structures. If you code network through "raw sock", the code is 3-4 times longer than through "stream sock". Of course, you have to handle data and more things to do like TCP/UDP header, info extract ....Originally Posted by Poincare
Basically, the way you code "raw sock" isn't different much from "stream sock" since most of functions are same, execept prototype, more structs.
Should I be understanding network structures since I just did beej's guide?
