queuing of packets in network devices

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi,

Where are packets queued for a network device? 

I see 3 members in 'struct device' called qdisc, qdisc_sleeping &
qdisc_list which are initialized to noop_qdisc, noop_qdisc and NULL
respectively when calling register_netdevice().

So how & where are incoming/outgoing packets queued then?

TIA.
ciao,
Amit
