Hi,
I have one doubt. Is it possible to run a third party
TCP/IP stack as application over a native linux
kernel. Please give some pointer how it will be done?
Maybe, with some difficulty.
I'm aware of a few things that did this over BSD, but they're really out
of date. The Alpine project pulled the BSD TCP stack out into a
userspace library:
<http://sosp16.cs.washington.edu/homes/djw/papers/Usits01.pdf>. The
FoxNet project wrote a full TCP/IP stack from the ground up in SML:
<http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~fox/foxnet.html>. IIRC, they both had similar
hack layers for running on top of a unix kernel, using pcap, firewall
filters and raw sockets.
