So far as I'm aware access to raw sockets is not availables in any pure Java library.

In part this is because on most O/S access to raw sockets is a privileged operation, only available to processes running as root / administrator.

The Socket and DatagramSocket classes available in the java.net package are implicitly IP sockets (for TCP, and UDP, respectively).

Raw sockets are not supported in any Java or Android libraries

Use 3rd party libraries: RockSaw JSocket
