Raw socket functionality using LSP

May 9th, 2008

Hi

Am a grad student trying to implement an overlay service.Am relatively new to LSP programming. I was wondering if one can "still" use LSP to implement/use raw sockets in Vista/post sp2?

Am trying to program a overlay type of service where an IP packet is sent as payload within a UDP segment. I have to first extract the payload from the segment (straightforward) and write the payload unaltered into the network. Pre-vista/XP SP2 i could just use raw sockets to write the packet directly.Now in Vista, can i use LSP to achieve the same objective?

Kindly let me know

Thanks
Karthik
