Can you please provide an example that how your file could be used with an application layer built in scapy? The purpose is to connect to a server and receive the data. In my case new layer of protocol has already been implemented. Just need to equip 3way handshake and sequence and acks at TCP level so that it could function properly.

I am new to whole this stuff. Please take it into consideration while answering. FYI, new layer is of S/IP, sercos interface protocol.

If an incoming packet arrives in a time gap between send and sniff (lines 54-55), it will be lost, because sniff does not receive packets that arrived before it was called.

I am interested in testing how many tcp sessions a device can handle, such as a stateful firewall or NAT device. My thought is to have 2 hosts running scapy connected to the device being tested. I could use a script like this (with many iterations, changing IP address and/or port) to act as a TCP client. Can similar be done to emulate a TCP server? Can Scapy receive TCP SYN packets and manually process them with a similar script set to receive SYN-ACK and respond with ACK, or will that host machine kernel always try to respond to the TCP session? My goal is for Scapy to be stateless in the process such that the test is not be limited by the kernel of the hosts running the handshake emulation.
