I wanted to know more about how packet is escalated to the higher application like ICMP. Is there any document that I can read so that I will know how it is being handled by OS. I have here sets of question that I will really appreciate if somebody will take time to answer it. 1.) When I run dhcp is there a way for me to release IP and renew it thru ifconfig? 2.) I always get this SIOCSIFFLAGS resource busy unavailable whenever i run ifconfig up after ifconfig down, Is there anything that I can add to my code to fix this problem. 3.) What is the source code for ifconfig?
