I have written a small protocol which work of a LAN without a router. So ideally there is no need of the network layer (I am using physical address for the transfer). I have defined a filed called as "offset" and another one called as "id". Whenever you send a file, it is divided into various frames depending upon the size of the file and send with the same "id" and an offset incremented by 1. As you said the firewall issues. I don't think that is the problem because I am sending the file to myself, but , on eth0 rather than lo, because send on lo wont give the expected results. If you still want some explanation then please ask me. Thank you.
