Hi Hari, I think you should definitely add your field to the tcp_opt struct (instead of directly adding it to struct sock) , as that is where most of the TCP-related stuff is being maintained in 2.2 for each connection.. About documentation, theres a good paper at http://pubpages.unh.edu/~gherrin/project/linux-net.html I havent seen many texts covering the 2.2 kernel, so using old sources of info along with a look at the source code seems to be the only way to go.. infact if you find any books/papers (online or otherwise) catering to the topic, please let me know, as I would be interested too! --- Hariharan L Thantry <thantryh@cse.msu.edu> wrote: > I was wondering if someone could tell me where I > could find info about the > linkages between the various kernel networking data > structures...the more > Also, if I wanted to add a per-connection variable > which measures the > number of bytes sent out for that connection (for > measuring some kind of > rate), would I better off including it in tcp_opt or > in struct sock{}? > > Thanks, > Hari > __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
