Another quick q on the netstat output.

I noticed on a couple of entries of the output of the netstat command on my machine that the "State" field was empty. 
So I did a man netstat, to be told that that field is left empty if the protocol was UDP (well that makes sense, its a connectionless protocol) || if something is acting in raw mode.

So my question is, what is raw mode, and how long does it need to be cooked for? ;-)
