Alfred,

It's probably the "libuinet" component you're looking for, but that's an
active userland TCP stack, not a passive one.  That is, you can do full
TCP/IP with libuinet pretty easily, but you can't just hand it packets and
look at a stream you're intercepting.  It might be possible to make it
provide two half-connections for each connection from the wire at some
point, with data going into a socket and being readable, but that
functionality isn't there now.  I know there's some interest in funding Pat
Kelsey (who did the "libuinet" work) to do that, but I don't think there's
any roadmap for it.  I may also be misunderstanding what you're using
libnids to do.

Thanks,
Juli.
