| |
Hello all, I want to know what is use of dev_queue_xmit_nit function in dev.c file? Also why it calls following statement ptype->func(skb2, skb->dev, ptype); Also why skb2 is created by cloning skb? Acually i trace TCP packets and found that control goes from neigh_resolve_output to directly dev_queue_xmit_nit and then to HW driver 8139too.c? I want to know why it not goes from dev_queue_xmit? I place printk statments and found after dev_queue_xmit_nit control moves to network interface driver? Help to understand the control packet path. Thanks in advance. linux_lover - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
