Hi all,

I'm looking for a book/articles that would describe how to hook into the network driver to pickup custom datagram packets from a legacy device. I can see the packets with any basic network monitor, but if I understand correctly, they are not an existing protocol such as TCP, IP, IPX, UDP. They are MAC address packets on multicast.

Any thoughts or suggestions?

Thanks,

Maybe the link below can inspire you. It is an raw socket example and you can't go any further that that. Hopefully it is useful and can be of some help to you.
