Hmm. Sorry for the late reply here...

I suspect this is fairly difficult to achieve, but not impossible.

The problem is that the actual packet tag data is going to be lost when you do
the write() / send() into the stack, and you would then somehow need to match
it up with the generated packets we get out of the fake Ethernet driver in the
NSC stack.

So yeah, I think we could probably make it work, but:

a) it would be a bit of a hack

b) there would almost certainly be cases that didn't work too well

c) it would probably be a fair bit of work to get right

You can probably imagine I'm not volunteering right now ;)

I think it might be interesting as an experimental feature if somebody really
cared, but it seems very low priority.
