Raw sockets on NaCl?

Right now I'm trying to migrate a code written in C to a application for Chrome browser.

I'm new in programming on the NaCl for Chrome Apps and I don't get really good if with the native client I can use the raw sockets. I need to use the raw sockets because I must create modified packets such as UDP with TTL very low.

So in general my question is, Can I use raw sockets (C style) with the NaCl? If the answer is yes, If you could provide some extra information, It would be great.

You can use TCP and UDP sockets, via the nacl_io library. Look at the nacl_io demo in the Native Client SDK. It can be found in the subdirectory examples/demo/nacl_io_demo.

Please note that these sockets APIs are only allowed when running as a Chrome App, not on the open web.
