Hi all
I would like to point out that struct tcp_sock was enlarged in 2.6.15, and the

Hi,
I've been looking into MPLS recently and so one of the first things that
would be useful is a testbed to generate test traffic, and hence the

Hello all,
I am trying to figure out what is causing a change in behavior of the TCP
stack on Linux? I have a very simple test setup:
1) Windows machine running a test app to request data from the server
2) Linux (2.6.10 - yeah, I know... upgrade...) machine running test server
3)

When I/O is non-cache-coherent, we need to ensure that the I/O buffers
we use don't share cache lines with other data.

Hi Stephen,
I think the resolution was:
- No to the utsname hack. Ergo the tc sample clause
Yes, fully agreed - and the hardware's pre-beacon interrupt would cause
the beacon function to create a beacon frame and put it into the queue
(dev_queue_xmit on the master device). The beacon frame would the be
passed to the hardware through the normal run_queue that follows.
