hi, IMO, you should read the RFC 3549, test everything that you don't understand. I hope you can find the way. You should compile the attached program, resolve faults, search on google if you dont understand the faults, then continue testing.... :)) regards, nary tra ----- Original Message ----- From: "Eric Bambach" <eric@cisu.net> To: <linux-net@vger.kernel.org> Sent: Thursday, October 21, 2004 3:17 AM Subject: Netlink Implementation. > Hello, > > I am trying very hard to understand the userspace view of Netlink sockets. > However, my programming is not suffiecient enough to fully understand the man > pages or the source(iproute2/zebra) and work off of that.
