Since the RAW was in IPv6 , I used -s to get statistics (attached). Google showed [-w] for socket type = RAW, but: netstat -w just gave a return of allowed extensions of which -w was not one.
Found this from Microsoft:
For IPv6 (address family of AF_INET6), an application receives everything after the last IPv6 header in each received datagram regardless of the IPV6_HDRINCL socket option. The application does not receive any IPv6 headers using a raw socket.Jan 18, 2022
I can't claim to understand it, but the last sentence seems clear if reliable.
@ madires, Thank you so much. This is a new word for me.
