Hi, eth_type_trans(...); is used in drivers RX method to get the type of the protocol for the L3 layer.Then the respective method of the L3 layer is invoked for the found protocol because the L3 layer supports more than one protocols. Is this right? Secondly , does this arguments hold true for just L2 ethernet layer or this is generic across the networking stack. i.e to identify the protocol of the packet/frame at nth level so that n+1 level's correct handler can be invoked using netif_rx(...)? Does this means code at the nth level will look into the packet beyond its header to figure out the protocol of the associated packet or frame? Code pointers will be appreciated. Thank you. --psr -- play the game -- To unsubscribe from this list: send an email with "unsubscribe kernelnewbies" to ecartis@xxxxxxxxxxxx Please read the FAQ at http://kernelnewbies.org/FAQ
