Hi

How can I add an extra layer of processing b/w the IP and ethernet layers
using a kernel module ? If I load a module, I should be able to access the
functions exported by IP and ethernet. Also, I think the ethernet layer can
be configured to use my module as the protocol by patching ifconfig. Am I
right so far ? So, how do I get IP to use my module as it's link layer ? If
I am wrong, what's the proper way ? Or is there any other simpler way ? My
requirement is to add a compression layer (RFC 2507)

Regards
Gautham
