Which fields are you looking for?  If you just want information about
the remote (client) host, you can get that via the asio api when a
connection is made.

If you're looking for more than that, then you need "raw" sockets, a
la libpcap.  The "regular" sockets api is at a higher level than
network/transport protocol headers.
