Taking your sentence literally, I think those two things are orthogonal.
Your platform might provide a socket-based interface for sending and
receiving data at the ethernet layer. (I don't know if that's the case
though.)

If there's a socket interface for it, then probably yes. Otherwise, I'm
afraid not.
