AFAIK no RFC1122/RFC1812 evulation has been done recently (since 2.0 or so). Also part of these RFCs have been superseeded by later RFCs that have not reached Internet standard status yet, so it would not be very useful anyways (today's internet looks very different from 1989's when 1122 was written) The mechanism the comment refers to (asynchronous error notification for UDP, which is not in traditional BSD) is not used by 99.9% of all apps BTW ;) -Andi - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
