Hi, As we know, the Linux network component creates two special purpose sockets for use by the AF_INET protocol family. The tcp_socket is used to send resets when a TCP packet is rejected, since there may be no local socket corresponding to the packet. The icmp_socket is used to send ICMP messages. Now, Is there still only the two special purpose sockets (i.e. tcp_socket and icmp_socket) in Linux kernel 2.6 for use by the AF_INET protocol family for those packets that have no local socket corresponding to them? Do all other packet (which is going to be sent out) have a local socket corresponding to them respectively, except those packets which use the above special purpose sockets? And, as for a packet which is received, Is there a local socket corresponding to it on the receiving machine? Thanks in advance. ===== Best Regards, Park Lee __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? All your favorites on one personal page ?
