[Book] Linux Kernel Networking Implementation and Theory

Linux Kernel Networking
Implementation and Theory













Notes about the book





  • Netlink Sockets

  • The netlink protocol is a socket-based IPC mechanism, that provides a bidirectional communication channel between user-space and the kernel or among some parts of the kernel itself.

    Example: 
    [1] Uses libnl library for socket operations
    Who can give me the latest netlink programming samples?

    [2] Uses libmnl library for socket operations

    [3] Uses standard socket functions (defined by sys/socket.h)
    How to use netlink socket to communicate with a kernel module?
