Hi All,
Can somebody explain me how to add a new protocol type in socket?
The requirement is I need to have a heart beat running
between two cards. Since the Heart beat is exchanged at very high
speed(typically at a speed of 20 Hz).
And I need to process the heartbeat also, So I cann't
process each and every packet received at the socket since it will cause
a over head in my application. So What I thought that I will have a
proprietary protocol type in socket in that case I can just process the
packet received at my end assuming it to be a heart beat packet.
The socket command will look like this...
sock = socket(PF_PACKET, SOCK_RAW,NEW_PROTOCOL_TYPE);
I googled it also, but I was not able to find any examples regarding it.
Host : Redhat 9.0
Platform: montavista linux 2.4
Thanks in advance
Thanks and Regards
Shree Kant
