tcp packet building problem

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

 



hello,
       I am studying kernel 2.4.20-8 kernel on RH9 and
found that for UDP and ICMP packets skb_reserve is
used for EThernet header but why TCP packet routines
ip_queue_xmit & ip_queue_xmit2 are not using
skb_reserve for Ethernet header? Where is header room
is allocated for ethernet? 
       If i am missing something please point out me.
Thanks in advance.
regards,
linux_lover.
