Hi Rao,

Thanks.

We have a non STREAMS kernel module.
We want to create a TCP kernel socket which will **ONLY** transmit data, and 
not receive.

We use it only to transmit. As I understand, polling is used for the receive 
queue since the 
receive queue is the bottleneck under most circumstances. (At least it is so in 
Linux).
So as far as I understand, we don't
need polling. We need to know that a transmit was completed succssfully. 

I will gladly answer more questions,

Regards,
Rami
