hello hackers 

 I got some probelsm in understanding the code related to the ARP 
 and DRIVER interfaces in FREE BSD. Actually i am in a process of 
customising the code to my application  ( ARP code ). 

 The  code says 

   struct arpcom { 

                  } 

 is the structure shared between driver and ARP module. I would like 
know there are any structure which are  comman between these two modules

secondly. when ARP request comes in to a host, ARP module will check 
the address ( sanity checking ) and then calls the a function " 
arplookup".  this interms calls  "rtalloc1"  which calls rn_match(). 

 the structure involved during the processing of above functions are 
   struct rtentry
   struct radix_node
   struct radix_node_head. 


 i am not really understanding what are these radix structures.

 can i replace this structure with my own struct which contains the 
 arp route information. 

 pls help me out 

 hope i am not troubling you too much 

mail me at   " snayak@ricochet.net" or " nayaksan@hotmail.com"

bye 
sanjay
