Raw IP Interface
The Raw IP interface lets a client program send and receive arbitrary IP packets on any IP protocol except TCP and UDP. Only one client can use any given protocol at one time. Only clients in the obey list can use the Raw IP interface. For further information about the obey list, see z/VM: TCP/IP Planning and Customization.
The following table provides a short description of the Raw IP interface procedures and gives the page number where each call’s detailed description is located.
| Procedure Call | Description | Location |
|---|---|---|
| RawIpOpen | Informs the TCPIP virtual machine that the client wants to send and receive IP packets of a specified protocol. | RawIpOpen |
| RawIpReceive | Specifies a buffer to receive raw IP packets of a specified protocol. | RawIpReceive |
| RawIpSend | Sends raw IP packets of a specified protocol. | RawIpSend |
| RawIpClose | Informs the TCPIP virtual machine that the client no longer handles the protocol. | RawIpClose |
