Sorry if I'm off topic, just reading this line casted a shadow in my soul. :)
I think one should remember that packets do not have to go through all the 
layers of the TCP/IP encapsulation, like for instance shows 
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:IP_stack_connections.png . Now, if this 
diagram is correct, received packets go either up to "network" or 
"application" layer. But maybe this diagram isn't perfect and it is possible 
to send/receive at datalink level.
