Answer 1

You should be able to get the socket fd from ip::tcp::socket::native().

Get the native socket representation.

native_type native();

This function may be used to obtain the underlying representation of the socket. This is intended to allow access to native socket functionality that is not otherwise provided.

I would imagine you can read through this class and write through send since the buffers should be segregated but you’ll need to test it.
