[erlang-questions] Low Level Socket Example

[Sargun Dhillon]

Why can't you use gen_tcp? Do you really need to implement OS level APIs in
Erlang? Erlang really isn't the right language for raw socket manipulation.
Try out C.

If you really want to get to know the lower layer network protocols, play
with Click (modular router).
