Brian,
Partially you are wrong and partially you are right. This is a sort of assignment to me , but not as part of graduation. I am a newly joined software engineer trainee.
Past few weeks , 'm working on resource efficient way of passing data on to the other side. Layer 2 device driver is too much for me. Well i think i should sit back, relax and explore more.
I checked out the idea of capturing data in module and passing it on to user space for transmission. But that is a both time and resource consuming. Correct me if I am wrong.
May be Mr. Brian view is true. He wants me to explore more of those stuffs to myself.
Thanks for your suggestions ---
Will try and explore --- for sure.

Kevin,
Perhaps I am wrong, but I think the task is an assignment in a
graduate course at some university because this type of query
always seems to appear on this list at this time of year. It is
always a STREAMS module, and it is always this general
distributed computing task.
