If support for IP_RECVOS and IP_PKTINFO is implemented at the kernel level, it may not be possible. That said, I'm not familiar with these, so can't speak to feasibility without more research.

So a better approach might be to look at the upstream project(s), to see if there's a way to work around the requirement for these.

Anyone else... thoughts?

Well… it may be possible by using so-called L3 raw socket. Anyway, it means that we should reimplement TCP and UDP at least with all environment like select and so on.

Is it achievable? Seems so. But it requires a lot of work. Special to make stable enough.

Off topic: about decade ago I’ve implemented very limited TCP for DPDK. It was a couple of months and it was very poor implementation. At the end I’ve moved to L2 and used much simpler L3 protocol
