How do I create RAW TCP/IP packets in C++?

Question

I\'m a beginning C++ programmer / network admin, but I figure I can learn how to do this if someone points me in the right direction. Most of the tutorials are demonstrated

Poster, please clarify your question.

Almost all responses seem to think you're asking for a sockets tutorial; I read your question to mean you need to create a raw socket capable of sending arbitrary IP packets. As I said in my previous answer, some OSes restrict the use of raw sockets.

http://linux.die.net/man/7/raw "Only processes with an effective user ID of 0 or the CAP_NET_RAW capability are allowed to open raw sockets."
