.. title:: NET_SOCKETS_PACKET_DGRAM

.. option:: CONFIG_NET_SOCKETS_PACKET_DGRAM

*Enable packet socket SOCK_DGRAM support*

Type: ``bool``

Help
====

For AF_PACKET sockets with SOCK_DGRAM type, the L2 header
is removed before the packet is passed to the user.  Packets sent
through a SOCK_DGRAM packet socket get a suitable L2 header based
on the information in the sockaddr_ll destination address before
they are queued.
