I think the best option would be to add support for Network.framework.
The preferred way to use Network.framework is with a user-mode
network stack included in macOS and iOS, but it is also possible to
use it with sockets via a custom framer. Sockets have lower
performance compared to the user-mode network stack included
in Network.framework, though.
