Answer / william
A raw socket is a socket that allows access to packet
headers on incoming and outgoing packets. Raw sockets
always receive the packets with the packet header included
as opposed to non-raw sockets which strip the header and
only receive the packet payload.

Answer / atul sharma
Raw Sockets are independent of the transport layer and the
packet are being routed based on the destination IP
address.As this does not contain the Port related
information So on the destination machine any socket
listening can receive the IP or RAW packets.This has been
practically verified by Me.
