Hello all, I have added some debug statements in linux kernel 2.4.24 in /usr/src/linux/net/core/dev.c printk(KERN_DEBUG "in netif_receive_skb after skb->len = %d and address = %p\n",skb->len,skb->data); printk(KERN_DEBUG "In netif_receive_skb skb->nh.iph->ihl = %d && skb->nh.iph->version = %d\n",skb->nh.iph->ihl,skb->nh.iph->version); printk(KERN_DEBUG "packet type is =%d\n",type); where all these 3 statemets are placed in netif_receive_skb function of dev.c and type is defined as unsigned short type = skb->protocol; Then i rebuild kernel and check it on network and found following results. in netif_receive_skb after skb->len = 186 and address = c75ec620 In netif_receive_skb skb->nh.iph->ihl = 0 && skb->nh.iph->version = 14 packet type is =1024 in netif_receive_skb after skb->len = 46 and address = c74633a0 In netif_receive_skb skb->nh.iph->ihl = 0 && skb->nh.iph->version = 0 packet type is =1544 in netif_receive_skb after skb->len = 84 and address = c7463aa0 In netif_receive_skb skb->nh.iph->ihl = 0 && skb->nh.iph->version = 14 packet type is =1024 in netif_receive_skb after skb->len = 100 and address = c74639a0 In netif_receive_skb skb->nh.iph->ihl = 0 && skb->nh.iph->version = 14 packet type is =1024 in netif_receive_skb after skb->len = 78 and address = c7463aa0 In netif_receive_skb skb->nh.iph->ihl = 5 && skb->nh.iph->version = 4 packet type is =8 I want to know which are these packet types? I know only ETH_P values 8 for IP and 2054 for ARP packets then which are these packets 1024,1544. regards, linux_lover __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
