Hi: I've a C program which uses a datagram socket for communication. Some packets sent on the socket have the Router Alert option set. At the router's end I want a user space routine to look at packets with the RA option set and process them. I use the packet capture library which gets the reqd packets but the packets are also forwarded by the default action of the router. Any help on how to get the user space routine process and decide about (fwd or not to fwd) the packets of interest? Thanks very much. -Sarada - : send the line "unsubscribe linux-net" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.rutgers.edu
