Date: Tue, 5 Feb 2008 04:10:42 -0800 (PST) From: am kara <kara_am@...oo.com> To: linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org Subject: kara_am I am trying to understand IPsec and found some related subfolders: crypto, net/key, net/xfrm, net/netlink and it may be more folders and files involved in the process. Would anyone please tell me how is the flow of network(internet) information(traffic) from a user process to the deepest layers of the kernel only by the name of the most important files and folders in case of IPsec and a typical TCP, IP(and IPsec) and Ethernet adaptor senario? For example: setkey(shell command)--> ....(some intermediate processes)-->crypto(setkey method) I guess it should be: net/ipv4-->net/key-->net/xfrm-->crypto net/ipv4-->net/core-->net/core/dev.c What is netlink, is it a kind of socket? how does it become connected to IPsec? ____________________________________________________________________________________ Be a better friend, newshound, and know-it-all with Yahoo!
