    Driver example on top of TCP/IP

    Hello everybody,

    I am new to driver programming and has learnt running simple modules. I am in search of a networking driver example which runs on top of TCP/IP. Please provide me related examples and notes. Thanks in advance.

    Regards,
    Rajesh Kumar.

    Please be more specific as to what you want to do, and why you think that a kernel module is the correct approach to take?

    Hello,
    I am trying to develop a simple driver/module on TCP/IP for learning purposes. If any example is provided regarding this i can take it as reference to complete my work. I am not specific about module or driver, i just want to run it in kernel space.

    Download the book Linux Device Drivers, or Linux Kernel in a Nutshell by O'Reilly. They are free to download as PDF files if you cannot afford to purchase a hard copy.

    Well, it depends upon what you are trying to accomplish. Also, I have to ask if this is a school project?

    I am trying to implement RFC1006, which is nothing but tp0 on top of TCP/IP.

    My DDN handbooks are somewhat out of date (vol.2&3 - 1985, vol.4 1989), so I don't find RFC 1006. Please be more specific what it covers.

    Ok. I found a PDF of the RFC. I'll get back to you tomorrow about this. I need to read it. The date is 1987 and indicates it obsoletes RFC 983. At least it's short (about 20 pages)...

    BTW, most people would be clueless as to the meaning of TP0, as I was, and I have 25 years of TCP/IP programming experience! The CCITT / ISO protocols are not commonly used these days, and I have never had the need to implement them, though I have implemented substantial parts of the TCP/IP protocol stack in the past. My TCP/IP and other network documentation covers about 6 linear feet of my bookshelf.
