I don't know if anyone has already written something similar, but I wrote a simple header-only library for reading NatNet packets on Linux machines.

Re: NatNetLinux - NatNet packet reading library for Linux
Good work.
But there is also a direct packet example "PacketClient.cpp" for windows. I don't say that this example is nice code because it is C in C++ and is not multi-platform. But my solution is use boost::asio for socket connection and after your code will be multi-platform. Yo can create nice multi-platform code in C++. You can compile same C++ code in Windows, Linux, MacOS and also in Android because core is Linux. I am working now with Android but I use .NET sockets because in the Unity3D it is easier way and I don't have a time to create C++ code and after .NET wrapper for it.
There are some exams for boost::asio. Boost libs are the best extensions libraries for c++. Maker is "std::" . For example these are also included "smart pointers" it is how to use C++ dynamic memory like that garbage collector in Java/C# but it is faster.
