As the subject of this e-mail displays, i've encountered the property of a
socket control known as "Address family" , and is strictly set by default to
"AF_INET". I'm curious, what are the other options other than "AF_INET"?
I've also noticed the property "protocol", refering to the 2nd layer
protocols like IP, which is set to "IPPROTO_IP" by default... is it possible
to set this to something like "IPPROTO_ICMP" or "IPPROTO_IGMP", etc.?

It seems you are not talking about MS Winsock control, as my version
does not have an address familiy property.
If your control is a Winsock API wrapper without restrictions, it should
be possible to use other address families, such as DECnet, IBM SNA,
Appletalk or NETBIOS, to mention a few other possibilities.
At least when using Winsock API, the most often used protocol would
be AF_INET/IPPROTO_TCP (Winsock2.h says IPPROTO_IP is a dummy for IP).

Real enough?
