-------
Jeff is correct. The top of a sockets API is a TCP stream channel of
bytes, not packets. "It could be done..." means creating a second TCP/IP
stack feeding from the streams channel and packaging it into TCP/IP over
Ethernet frames to be passed to the application. Not very desirable, nor
realistic.
