Hi, When I was trying to send a raw socket to a tcp connection opened on the same machine, i was ruuning into problems, i thought it might have been checksum and all and wondered what all fields had to be set in skbuff b4 calling netif_rx, the problem is solved now. a packet that is coming out from a machine and going to itself (even if src addr is diff) goes on lo, so i thought the skbuff wld be freed and allocated again and all that, but that doesnt happen, even if an ack or an rst goes on lo, the tcp connection accepts it fine ... !, so there was no issue, i just wasnt setting the ack flag in the rst fragment i was sending and hence it was being dropped. cheers Amit -- Kernelnewbies: Help each other learn about the Linux kernel.
