Message-ID: <7F8F8796.33735BFF.9513E96F@netscape.net> X-Mailer: Atlas Mailer 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1 Sender: owner-freebsd-net@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk List-ID: List-Archive: (Web Archive) List-Help: (List Instructions) List-Subscribe: List-Unsubscribe: X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Hi, My question is why did you choose mbuf? is it because you are writing the code in unix systems? Is it because mbufs allow us to avoid coping as much as possible? I feel that a linear buffer might have saved some of the mbuf modifications. regards ravi prasad __________________________________________________________________ Your favorite stores, helpful shopping tools and great gift ideas.
