While doing some work on some ip options stuff, I have noticed a bunchof
unused entries in linux/include/linux/ip.h
A few things.. why is ip.h not part of the linux/include/net rather than
linux/include/linux hierachy?
Defined items that are not used anywhere in the source..
Can any of them be deleted now?
<see below>
Also, I was looking into some RFC 1812 stuff. (Thanks for nothing Dave :) and
was looking at 4.2.2.6 where it mentions that a router MUST implement the End
of Option List option.. Havent' figured out where that is implememented yet..
Also was trying to figure out some things.
I want to create a new ip_option for use in some DOS protection experiments.
I have a whole 40 bytes (+/-) to share... Now although I don't see anything
explicitly prohibiting the use of unused IP Header option space, I know that
it really was designed for use by the sending parties, and not routers in
between.. Has anyone seen any RFC that explicitly says I MUST NOT?
