Extension header info for IPv6 TCP sockets

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

 



hi,

I'm new to IPv6 and am trying to send extension header information as
ancillary data.
This works fine for UDP and RAW sockets, but does not work at all with TCP
sockets.

I have not traced the kernel code for TCP ancillary data passing and
assumed that
it would be similar to UDP / RAW.  Is there something else that needs to be
done for
TCP sockets in addition to setting socket options for extension headers ?
(IPV6_HOPOPTS, IPV6_RTHDR at IPPROTO_IPV6 level)

regards,
suvidh
