+## Functional tests with `LD_PRELOAD`
+
+The POSIX shim builds `libwolfip.so`, which can be injected in front of
+host tools so that calls to `socket(2)` and friends are redirected to the
+wolfIP stack and the TAP device (`wtcp0`).  After running `make`:
+
+```sh
+sudo LD_PRELOAD=$PWD/libwolfip.so nc 10.10.10.2 80
+```
+
+The example above mirrors the existing `nc`-driven demos: any TCP sockets
+opened by the intercepted process are serviced by wolfIP instead of the host
+kernel.
+
+### Ping over the TAP device
+
+ICMP datagram sockets can be validated the same way.  With the TAP interface
+created automatically by the shim and the host endpoint configured in
+`config.h` (`HOST_STACK_IP` defaults to `10.10.10.1`), run:
+
+```sh
+sudo LD_PRELOAD=$PWD/libwolfip.so ping -I wtcp0 -c5 10.10.10.1
+```
+
+The `-I wtcp0` flag pins the test to the injected interface and `-c5`
+generates five echo requests.  Successful replies confirm the ICMP
+datagram socket support end-to-end through the tap device.
