Karen,
It seems that there is a router between the machines that you are
testing with. In that case packets will travel like this:
Source ---> Router ----> Target
In case of LIBNET_RAW4, it correctly finds out the mac address of
router NOT the target. That's why it's working.
In case of LIBNET_LINK, you are hardcoding the mac address of the
target and packet never finds any such destination.
cheers,

Actually, I did run into these previously when searching the net; they were no
help. They don't work, and I can't see how they would work. For example,
lets look at the one that's closest to what I'm doing - udp2.c. It sets the
destination mac to the value of enet_dst. This variable isn't modified at
all in udp2.c - it is defined, initialized, and never changed in
libnet_test.h, as:
u_char enet_dst[6] = {0x00, 0x10, 0x67, 0x00, 0xb1, 0x86};
A preset hwaddr? How could that possibly work?
It doesn't, at least when I've tried it. Lets call my machine Source, and the
other machine Target. First off, I shut off iptables on Source and Target,
just in case. Now, running tcpdump on the target machine as follows:
[root@ipl3 kpease]# /usr/sbin/tcpdump | grep <Source>
tcpdump: listening on eth0
Now, lets test the tcpdump by pinging the computer:
02:15:24.398157 <Source> > <Target>: icmp:echo request (DF)
02:15:26.044271 <Source> > <Target>: icmp:echo request (DF)
02:15:26.470916 <Source> > <Target>: icmp:echo request (DF)
Etc. So, we know it's working. So, I try:
while true; do ./udp2 -s <Source> -d <Target> -P 22; done
Not a thing shows up (port 22 is not only unblocked, but open and recieving
connections, as evidenced from nmap from Source). So, lets try tcp there:
while true; do ./tcp1 -s <Source>:30000 -d <Target>.22; done
Not a thing. Once again, it's using that hard coded mac addr, so I can't see
how it would make it.
So, enough with the samples - to my code. Here's what gets sent when I use
LIBNET_RAW4:
00:31:45.778733 IP <Source>.30000 > <Target>.http: UDP, leng
0x0000: 0020 e035 5440 0050 046c e730 0800 4500 ...5T@.P.l.0..E.

0x0030: 7465 7374 test
And here is with LIBNET_LINK
00:34:07.799767 IP <Source>.30000 > <Target>.http: UDP, leng
0x0000: 0004 758f 1153 0050 046c e730 0800 4500 ..u..S.P.l.0..E.

0x0030: 7465 7374 test
Looking at the ethernet header, we find:
LIBNET_RAW4: Dest MAC: 00 20 e0 35 54 40
LIBNET_LINK: Dest MAC: 00 04 75 8F 11 53
Source MAC: 00 50 04 6C E7 30
Ethertype: 08 00
What I don't get is why LIBNET_RAW uses 00 20 e0 35 54 40. Because, in my
test case, I hard-coded the target machine's mac addr - here's its output
from ifconfig:
eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:04:75:8F:11:53
inet addr:<Target> Bcast:<TargetBcast> Mask:255.255.255.0
UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1
RX packets:8662615 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:1 frame:0
TX packets:1625176 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0

RX bytes:2317535814 (2210.1 Mb) TX bytes:996608893 (950.4 Mb)

So, in short, I'm confused.
