Since Ohad had pointed you to the tools such as arsenic, here I also suggest to take a look on User Mode Linux (user-mode-linux.sourceforge.net). Since it brings the whole Linux kernel into userland, you can easily peek into various part of Linux network stack, put breakpoint ,do additional code instrumentation , even simulate a networked PC using UML. Qemu (http://bellard.org/qemu), a system emulator is another choice. regards Mulyadi -- Kernelnewbies: Help each other learn about the Linux kernel.
