Re: packet trace

Have a look at the following structure...

struct tcp_func ipv4_specific = {
ip_queue_xmit,
...
};

in tcp_v4_init_sock:
sk->tp_pinfo.af_tcp.af_specific = &ipv4_specific;

in tcp_transmit_skb:
struct tcp_opt *tp = &(sk->tp_pinfo.af_tcp);
tp->af_specific->queue_xmit(skb);

here, queue_xmit actually points to ip_queue_xmit.

here are all the functions called, on a packets journey thru the tcp
stack.

tcp_v4_sendmsg [static in tcp_ipv4.c]
tcp_do_sendmsg [static in tcp.c]
csum_and_copy_from_user()
tcp_send_skb [tcp_output.c]
tcp_transmit_skb [tcp_output.c]
ip_queue_xmit [ip_output.c]
ip_route_output [route.c]
ip_output [ip_output.c]
ip_finish_output [ip.h]
dev_queue_xmit [dev.c]

hard_start_xmit [netdevice.h]

hope this helps.
Felix
