In os.nse [1] I use this solution, based on pcap (raw sockets):
-- hack used only to go back to event loop
local pcap = nmap.new_socket()
function pcap_callback() return 'xxx' end
pcap:pcap_open(interface, 64, 0, pcap_callback,
"tcp[0] == 0xDE and ((tcp[tcpflags] & tcp-fin) != 0) " )
-- go back to the event loop for a while
pcap:set_timeout(XXX) -- XXXms
pcap:pcap_register('aaa')
_, _, _, _, _ = pcap:pcap_receive()

But we really should create something more standard, like nmap.sleep().
Maybe it's a good idea for SoC?
