@sumit

The above program will work if you edit the statement
sock_raw = socket(AF_INET , SOCK_RAW , IPPROTO_TCP); to
sock_raw = socket(AF_INET , SOCK_RAW , IPPROTO_UDP);

(atleast in my case it was working)
but there’s still a bug
it just filters out the UDP Packets.
also if anyone can help me with how to enable timestamp option in IP packets
