Hello, I am developing a n/w protocol (its connection-oriented, reliable, message-boundary preserving) over ethernet. I want to provide a socket() interface for user-space programs. So somebody can send/recv pkts using familiar socket interface: --- int sock; sock = socket(MY_FAMILY, MY_TYPE, MY_PROTOCOL); connect(sock, dest, xyz); send(sock, msg, len, flags); recv(sock, buf, len, flags); close(sock); --- Any pointers/suggestions welcome. Thanks in advance, Abhi. __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Mail Plus – Powerful. Affordable.
