Hello, If i use the MSG_DONTROUTE option on a local socket, i mean a tcp socket (AF_INET or AF_INET6) with this option. I know that first of all using the tcp AF_INET or INET6 is a dumb decision instead of using the AF_UNIX family, but i have come to a point where i couldn't change this as this code is legacy.
If i use the MSG_DONTROUTE option will that be a performance gain on the sockets that communicate inside the system, not to outside? I am guesssing that routing lookup performs once and then it will never. for every packet there is no routing lookup performed so there wont' be much gain in performance? thanks, _______________________________________________ Kernelnewbies mailing list [email protected] http://lists.kernelnewbies.org/mailman/listinfo/kernelnewbies
