I am using raw IP socket with protocol value IPPROTO_RAW. When I receive the IP packet in the application. The ip_len field of the IP header is the lengthen of the data portion, not the total packet length. Is this a bug in the raw IP layer or a standard behavour? Should the rip_input function (in netinet/raw_ip.c) suppose to make sure the ip_len is the total length of the packet or should it just pass whatever it gets from the in_input function up to the socket layer?
