Low level networking

Question

I've been thinking about implementing some network protocols using OC for a long time and now I finally have the time to start, but that would require a way to send a binary blob to a computer on a network based on an identifier corresponding to the MAC address (I want to build it all up from that).

Do I have any way to do that, or does it only support the address + port way of communication and I'll have to write an addon, (maybe a raw network card or something like that)?

oc wired and wireless modems have addresses, and when you send a message you either broadcast or send to a specific address. You can think of this as its MAC.

lua strings are technically just binary blobs, they can hold any binary data (yes, 0s included)
