Subject: linux icmp: Why socket and inode are allocated?
Date: Mon, 29 Mar 2004 10:07:46 +0530	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <005c01c41547$97ca85f0$9064a8c0@sameer> (raw)

hi,
I am currently studying linux ICMP implementation
In that i find there a socket and inode data structures being initialized..
later in the icmp_init function it is said that we do not wish this socket
to see the incoming packets..
So why a socket and an inode structures are used for icmp?

Thanks and Regards,

$@M££R!
