 * UDP/500, this implementation uses RAW sockets. An installed
 * "Linux socket filter" filters out all non-IKEv2 traffic and handles
 * just IKEv2 messages. An other daemon (pluto) must handle all traffic
 * seperatly, e.g. ignore IKEv2 traffic, since charon handles that. 
 * 
 * @b Constructors:
 * - socket_create()
 * 
 * @todo add IPv6 support
 * 
 * @todo We currently use multiple sockets for historic reasons. With the
 * new RAW socket mechanism, we could use just one socket and filter
 * addresses in userspace (or via linux socket filter). This would allow 
 * realtime interface/address management in a easy way...
