From: "H. Peter Anvin" <hpa@zytor.com> Date: 5 Mar 2003 13:24:58 -0800 Question... I have heard conflicting info if (AF_UNIX, SOCK_DGRAM) sockets will drop packets or not. I would appreciate a conclusive answer for the Linux kernel specifically. Alternatively, is (AF_UNIX, SOCK_SEQPACKET) implemented in Linux? If sendmsg returns no errors, we reliably send the data and do not drop it. We don't have AF_UNIX/SEQPACKET, but we do have AF_UNIX/STREAM. - : send the line "unsubscribe linux-net" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
