Re: how netfilter handles fragmented packets

[cranium2003 <cranium2003@yahoo.com>]

Hello Nish,
          Thanks. I got it. dump_stack is implemented
in trap.c file in kernel source. 
          what i decide to use dump_stack is to do
pinging to myself at one console and same time call
dump_stack from user program. Is that right? But where
is output displayed? Dose that help me to find out
which function is called by output(skb).
          
regards,
cranium.
