Hi,

I'd be happy to understand the difference between NETIF_F_SG and NETIF_F_FRAGLIST, and how each of these features is being used.

thanks,
Rotem.

Hello and welcome to LQ.

You did not describe something you explored yourself that we could discuss and you have not asked a specific question that could be used to point you to something specific. So I'd suggest finding a copy of "Linux Device Drivers" by Corbet, Kroah-Hartman and Rubini. See chapter 17: Network drivers and 17.3 for net_device. Else if you use your favourite searchengine with the words NETIF_F_SG and NETIF_F_FRAGLIST you'll find some discussions or else check the kernel source for netdevice.h which should hold NETIF_.* feature masks and start from there.

Thanks for the reference.
