Re: [PLUG] re : socket help
something of that sort we replaced the function pointers of default functions ( many TCP / IP specific functions like tcp_accept , tcp_connect )with the function pointers to our functions and built a module and when inserted it'd work by calling our funcs instead of TCP's default ( more like TSR in How will it capture UDP packets ? with these there are 2 dinctinct advantages 1 u don't have to compile kernel everytime you do something even very small Kernel does not have to be recompiled for either netfilter or raw sockets. TCP's default function which gets the socket out of the queue is ( get_sock... something ) so in here you can do some alterations and write code to check whatever you want to check or validate etc don't write the whole func just copy paste it in your file ( of which you'll build a module later ) and above or below or inbetween the main default code within the func type in your code to validate or call the functions which do this Internal kernel functions may use functions/macros that may not be exported. Copying them in your module will not help in that case. --Swapnil -- __ Pune GNU/Linux Users Group Mailing List: (plug-mail@plug.org.in) List Information: http://plug.org.in/mailing-list/listinfo/plug-mail Send 'help' to [EMAIL PROTECTED] for mailing instructions.

Re: [PLUG] About Voip Technology : RTP over TCP
I found that there are some disadvantages of TCP, some are 1) TCP doesn't support multicasting. I think multicasting is done by IP, not TCP. 2) Through TCP is reliable, it heavily depends on retransmission of lost or corrupted packets. That increases Delay. Our aim is real time delivery of packets not reliability. Why not use UDP then ? 3) TCP congestion control mechanism decreases the congestion window when packet losses are detected. What are the other options ? Apart from these flaws i am interested in implementing RTP over TCP Is it possible ? What is feasibility of implementing RTP over TCP ? AFAIK, RTP is a transport like protocol for real-time audio video data.
