Hi, In the struct packet_type, the description for struct net_device
*dev , is said to be the parameter which would allow to have different protocol
handlers for different devices or one protocol handler for a specific device. I don’t understand how this can be done, because the
frames which comes to us through an interface , is not processed but queued
into the input_pkt_queue before being processed by the driver, so only when the
driver processes frames will can it notify the network layer which protocol
handler to execute. So it means that we need to have all the protocol handlers for
all devices. I would appreciate if you could provide an explanantion on
this. Regards, Rajendra Stalekar(extn 2016) Location:- Akruti Mobile no:- +91 9860501143 |
