output:

socket successfully created....

Setting the local interface...OK

Sending message error: Invalid argument

I think you need to check the input parameters of sendto function.

I guess , you need to check the socket type, one socket type is PF_PACKET, the other is AF_INET,

fd = socket(PF_PACKET, (int)SOCK_RAW, htons(ETH_P_802_2))

....

sin.sin_family = AF_INET;

Hi Pradeep,

please see the attached client and server examples. You can check here how to create and use sockets.
