RE: [Linux-streams] Request for Information

I guess some more information about why you want to do it this way may be in order.   Unless you are trying to shoehorn your way below some other application that can’t be rewritten, why can’t you just use TCP and do it in userspace?   Or, a combination of the 2.  A module that captures the application data, redirects it back up to user space, and let that transfer it to the other computer.    It is normally much easier to develop and debug in user space than at lower levels.   From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of kinGkonGkoli Sent: Friday, October 21, 2005 8:35 AM To: linux-streams@gsyc.escet.urjc.es Subject: [Linux-streams] Request for Information   I am a totally newbie to Linux STREAMS. I am writing a streams module ( distribution module ). The operations that need to be performed by this are - 1. recieve data from user applications. 2. send it to different distribution module's running on different linux machines in the network.   With respect to my second part , i wanted to know few information.   To send data across network to other machine from the streams module, which streams driver and module are best to use ?   How the information and machine address is conveyed to the underlying modules ??   Thanks in advance   -- kinGkonGkoli Bangalore.
