raw ethernet frames to loopback

To whom it concerns,

i am developing a simulation tool (in c), where i need several Applications
(processes) on windows 7 to communicate to each other using Raw ethernet
frames, and using the loopback address (127.0.0.1)
It is important for the project to use the raw ethernet frames, and not UDP
or TCP. By raw ethernet frames i mean access to full payload of the
ethernet frame.

I tried to use the wincap drivers but understand now that it cannot access
the loopback address.

Can i use the Ncap libraries to send and receive raw ethernet frames via
loopback (127.0.0.1)?

hope i sent this mail to the right forum.

regards,
Anders Kallerdahl
