Hi, To get started with FreeBSD kernel, I have been working on IP Packet compression. After numerous crashes and failures now everything looks good and stable. I am using kernel zlib routines to compress payload.
However I think my implementation is not efficient at all. Here are the steps I am doing for compression: 1. copy Payload to empty buffer using m_copydata() function 2. call deflateInit2 () for deflate initialization 3. call deflate() for actual compression 4. copy the compressed data in buffer back to Payload I have to go through all above 4 steps for each packet! I think it will be lot faster and efficient if: * Somehow get away with deflateinit2() each time for each packet. * I can get to Payload pointer without using m_copydata() so that I don't need to copy data back and forth. Looking for your valuable suggestions and tips :) Bikrant _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-hackers To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
