Subject: Re: [PATCH] Improve behaviour of Netlink Sockets
Date: Wed, 22 Sep 2004 04:48:05 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <4150E7E5.2000001@eurodev.net> (raw)

Hi Herbert,

We are thinking in two different things:

a) You think about netlink sockets as a method to pass information to 
kernel space via command line, in that case dump is ok.

b) I'm thinking about netlink sockets as a method to generate event 
notifications. My benchmark tool just want to emulate that N events 
happen in a *very* short period of time (worst case), that implies 
sending N messages. So, forget that my tool sends previously a message 
to generate those N messages.

But I'm intrigued about something

Jamal, you're getting an overrun dumping ipsec policies. If I'm not 
wrong, that tool is doing that as dump operation, but that this 
shouldn't happen by using dump. Am I missing something?

I would like to have a way to send notifications via netlink sockets 
without losing congestion control ability, that is, without losing 
messages because of an overrun.

regards,
Pablo
