hello i want to add a new protocol to linux which can be used to encrypt the tcp headers and payload and the header of my protocol would contain the information for Encryption /Decryption IP|MYPROTO|TCP(encrypted header+payload) also it should be a static protocol ie i must be able to use socket(PF_INET,SOCK_MYPROTO,0) which would open a tcp stream channel. i tried to register a new protocol with the family PF_INET but i don't know what work is done by the members of the structure which is added to the static array of protocols also i don't know about what other functions have to be written as members of proto_ops family if anyone can help me i would be very thankful.
