Can I use Gnat.socket, for raw socket programming ? it is not clear for me, and unfortunately I didn't found any answers in the ada groups. I will use it under Windows.

The short answer is no, it would not go. Windows does not support raw sockets (naturally GNAT.Sockets does not do either). Under Windows you will need a so-called NDIS driver to handle packets away of the network stack, and Ada bindings to. I can recommend an inexpensive NDIS driver we are successfully using under Windows: http://www.rawether.net We also have Windows bindings to it, but they are proprietary. P.S. Under Linux you would use raw sockets. GNAT.Sockets does not support them, but it is relatively simple to adapt. -- Regards, Dmitry A.

Winpcap is not free, only its run-time is. But you will also need the SDK, which is five times as expensive as rawether, last time we checked. If you have much spare time and a MSDN subscription (1K per annual) you can take a sample NDIS from Windows DDK and use it as a starting point. -- Regards, Dmitry A.

Winpcap is free: http://www.winpcap.org/misc/copyright.htm And its developer's pack (SDK) is freely available: http://www.winpcap.org/devel.htm ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 7+ messages in thread
