Hello,
I want to know what is Maximum packet size given by kernel
when called alloc_skb function?
Actaully i want to know how IPSEC headers are added to
kernel. As they are extra headers as compared to original TCP/IP stack
packet structure. Does they require prior extra space to be allocated?
regards,
