    Description

      Right now Java only supports TCP and UDP connection. While a lot of PLC protocols generally support at least one of these, some times important features can't be used. By having the means to create adapters for protocols below TCP and UDP, we could also implement these advanced features and protocols.

      As this requires usage of the Java Native Interface we would have to implement native implementations for all major Operating Systems. Fortunately there seems to be an Apache 2.0 licensed library that promises to bring this support: https://www.savarese.org/software/rocksaw/

      We should therefore try to implement a Netty Channel that utilizes this library to provide raw socket support.
