Hey,
My question is quite simple, I have an sk_buff that I want to transmit, the
sk_buff is an ICMP message and so far, I've built the headers and set up
everything.
The problem is, when I want to do such a thing, I typically use a function
called:
dev_queue_xmit which takes the skb and
Hi, Adel,
You should use
ip_route_output_flow().
For this you should construct a
flowi4 instance.
ip_route_output_flow() is exported via EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL.
See for example how this is done in udp_sendmsg().
Good luck!

Hi, Adel,
ip_route_output_flow() calls
__ip_route_output_key().
The return value is the routing entry, rtable.
the parameters for __ip_route_output_key() do not
include sock; only net and flow (flp4).
And the __ip_route_output_key() is exported.
There is
a call for xfrm_lookup() which does need

Others have given some details on how. A better question is why.

Hi, Adel,
- In your first message you said you are using kernel modules.
- In case you intend to add code in ICMP for your special
requirements from the control protocol, then this seems not a good
idea (because this means patching the kernel for using your module;
and probably such patches

I am trying to implement a new protocol that we've designed which works on
top of the IP layer, so I am using ICMP messages to carry control
information for the protocol.
Why using ICMP, it seemed natural since our protocol is a Network-layer
