The following are the questions i have: How one n/w layer will interact with other n/w layer ( driver) e.g. in my case T1/E1 driver will interface with Lapd, i have found skbuffs utilization for doing the same. I am not clear on the same?. How skbuffs can be used. ( if possible please provide/suggest me with a piece of demo code which can be handy to understand "skbuffs" concepts. Can i have any other interface for applications other then sockets? Can any one suggest me any documents/articles to read, i have Rubini's "Linux Device Drivers". -Thanks in advance. Hari
