raw sockets using mac addresses
 |
Hi everyone.
I'm diving head first into the fascinating world of Linux network programming.
I've read about using sockets to do the networking, however, all the books I've seen so far have talked about IP addresses.
My goal is to connect my PC to a development board and make them talk through Ethernet. I think that MAC addresses are the way to go here (instead of IP) but I can't find a reference of this anywhere.
It would help me a lot if someone here could explain how to approach this. Also, if my notion is incorrect I would be glad to hear sooner than later.
Thank you,
Gadi
