Hi...
I want to know what these lines (with "???" mark) do in tcp output
(tcp_output.c) routine:
/*
* Fill in IP length and desired time to live and
* send to IP level. There should be a better way
* to handle ttl and tos; we could keep them in
* the template, but need a way to checksum without them.
*/
m->m_pkthdr.len = hdrlen + len;
#ifdef TUBA
if (tp->t_tuba_pcb)
error = tuba_output(m, tp);
else
#endif
{
??? ((struct ip *)ti)->ip_len = m->m_pkthdr.len;
??? ((struct ip *)ti)->ip_ttl = tp->t_inpcb->inp_ip.ip_ttl; /* XXX */
??? ((struct ip *)ti)->ip_tos = tp->t_inpcb->inp_ip.ip_tos; /* XXX */
#if BSD >= 43
error = ip_output(m, tp->t_inpcb->inp_options, &tp->t_inpcb->inp_route,
so->so_options & SO_DONTROUTE, 0);
#else
error = ip_output(m, (struct mbuf *)0, &tp->t_inpcb->inp_route,
so->so_options & SO_DONTROUTE);
#endif
}
Why should ti (tcpiphdr structure) be casted to ip header structure and
being filled in this tcp routine?
Why don't we just fill the ip header in ip routine?
What is it intended for?
