There really isn't a high level design document. The input path goes from the driver, which (probably) calls netif_receive_skb. That function does its processing whatnot, the only special step for bonding is the processing done by skb_bond() which assigns the packet to the bonding device. In the current mainline, skb_bond() also does some stuff to drop traffic on inactive slaves as the like. After that, the packet follows the regular input path in netif_skb_receive. -J --- -Jay Vosburgh, IBM Linux Technology Center, fubar@...ibm.com - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netdev" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
