I'm doing a graduation research where the goal is create a new protocol in the linux kernel. The protocol choosen was TCPXM, an hybrid reliable sender-initiated multicast/unicast aimed for small environment such as grids. In the last two months I studied the network subsystem, thinking about how is the best way to struct the code, best structs, etc.... The source code will be based on source code of some other protocol (like appletalk or ipx, for example). Is this the right way to start the implementation? Do you have any advices to me? -- Thanks Alan Menegotto
