PACKET_TX_RING (since Linux 2.6.31)
              Create a memory-mapped ring buffer for packet transmission.
              This option is similar to PACKET_RX_RING and takes the same
              arguments.  The application writes packets into slots with
              tp_status equal to TP_STATUS_AVAILABLE and schedules them for
              transmission by changing tp_status to TP_STATUS_SEND_REQUEST.
              When packets are ready to be transmitted, the application
              calls send(2) or a variant thereof.  The buf and len fields of
              this call are ignored.  If an address is passed using
              sendto(2) or sendmsg(2), then that overrides the socket
              default.  On successful transmission, the socket resets
              tp_status to TP_STATUS_AVAILABLE.  It immediately aborts the
              transmission on error unless PACKET_LOSS is set.
