Re: How to avoid TCP 3way handshare

I want to make the second server by default ESTABLISHED state. What are the modifications needed in the linux kernel code and the respective files. I am not worried about security and attacks at this moment. I don't know the answer, but given this would be very useful in a failover cluster I assume the code is already there or it is an extremely difficult thing to achieve. As I think about the sliding window aspect of tcp implementing a transparent socket handoff from one server to another seems rather difficult. Basically you would need to mirror not only the sockets connection status between the 2 mirrors, but also the in queue data and the sliding window metadata. (Ie. Data that changes millisecond to millisecond.) I haven't been a failover cluster expert in a decade or more, but I don't recall any functionality like that ever existing.

Re: About guiding hello world module submission
Hi, If i do not completely misunderstand you, I think you need some kind of mailbox where the students can submit their patches. Afterwards you can get the Emails together and discuss their results. I suppose you do not intend to send dummy-patches to a real maintainer for getting his feedback?

Yes Lukas right I want to do the same. Please help if you can. Thanks !!

Re: About guiding hello world module submission
Hi Robert, I am only done with writing basic device drivers and kernel compilation. I also know that we can send patches/drivers to majord...@vger.kernel.org But sending sample device drivers to that list will not be good etiquette. That's why I am asking.
