hi, In skbuff discussion i placed question about where exactly kernel allocates space for data and all headers. at that time i got very goos respone but still i unable to locate it. what i want to know where kernel allocates space for whole packet? Is there any call to alloc_skb in kernel source dir that does it? if not how kernel knows packet size so that he can create outgoing packet? regards, parag. >-- >Kernelnewbies: Help each other learn about the Linux kernel. >Archive: http://mail.nl.linux.org/kernelnewbies/ >FAQ: http://kernelnewbies.org/faq/ >
