No you are right. And IPV6 too is not really supported.

It's not a domain I know well. So I don't know at the moment if it's 
just a matter of adding an option to the 'Socket' class to let it open 
the socket in raw mode, or if a new class must be created because the 
behaviour of a raw socket is too much different.
