Changing IPIP

HI,

I want to change the code of ipip.c to put a ip on udp tunnel. What are all the things that I need to do.

Regards

Siva Prakash. R

Are you talking about the ipip.c in the kernel? That's a kernel hack. And because udp is not a "reliable" protocol, tunneling over it may be very very difficult.

Converting ipip.c to udp, if possible, would not be trivial.

drSivaPrakash, Thanks for waiting 24-hours to repost your question in the Programming forum. I'm sorry I missed this and didn't move it right away for you. I'll close this thread so you don't get posts in both.
