 * \ingroup ipv4
 *
 * \brief This class implements Linux struct pktinfo
 * in order to deliver ancillary information to the socket interface.
 * This is used with socket option such as IP_PKTINFO, IP_RECVTTL,
 * IP_RECVTOS. See linux manpage ip(7).
 *
 * See also SocketIpTosTag and SocketIpTtlTag
 *
 * The Tag does not carry the Local address (as it is not currently
 * used to force a source address).
 *
 * This tag in the send direction is presently not enabled but we
 * would accept a patch along those lines in the future.
