Splice CAT5

I had a phone guy go overboard, and he cut a network cable that I was
installing along with a new phone jack. Can I splice CAT5 cable to make it
long enough? Or is there a coupler I could buy? I hate the thought of
cutting and patching drywall again.

Sorry to be dense. What does "terminate both ends" mean? Does that mean to
strip off some of the insulation? Thanks for your patience.

Any you're installing the cable??? I'd have to question your competence, if
you don't know. "Terminate" means to connect the cable to something. In
the solution mentioned, it refers to putting connectors on the end of the
cable. In other situations, it might mean connecting a cable to a jack or
punch block or...

Oh. I was thinking "terminate" in the Arnold Schwarzengger sense of the
word. Don't be a "Girlie Man", James.

I question his competence too, but I suppose he might be able to terminate
those cables for you. ;-)

Hi, folks,

I need to modify the payload of a UDP packet passing through my Linux
(Redhat 9). Its configuration is like: machine A sends packets to
machine B through R which is a Linux router. The packets are sent through
a socket on A, and received through a socket on B. I need to modify the
payload of the passing packets on R. The reason is to insert some
measurement data.

I found that if I directly modified the payload in fifo queue by
sprintf(payload,string) on R where char * payload =
skb->data+udpheaderlen, the receiving side B cannot get the packet at all.
I guess the packet checksum has not been re-computed on R after the
payload is modified.

Can anyone tell me how this can easily be done ?

Thanks,
