Dear All, In the network layer implementation, how the memory management is being taken care of? Because if you allocate a memory whenever you recieve a packet, by calling malloc (which is a blocking call) it will take lot of time to process a packet. So is there any preallocated memory pool or memory pool which will be initialised at system startup from where the memory will be taken? Can anyone explain me how it is being taken care in Linux. Thanx in advance, Sudhakar. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Try FREE Yahoo!
