It is closely based on the SDL diagrams published in the ARRL 7th +Computer Networking Conference papers, and they should be referred to when +reading the code, notably the stuff in ax25_in.c. The next stage is to +separate the ax25 control block from the socket and then add NET/ROM and +connected mode IP. I would also like to add the extended AX25 designed by a +Dutch station which allows for window sizes up to 127. + +This code will work the same as the old code, although the display in +/proc/net/ax25 is a little different, but should be understandable. Please +give this code a work out and report any bugs to me either at +jsn@cs.nott.ac.uk or at GB7DAD.GBR.EU. + +This code has taught me a lot about the internals of the networking side of +Linux especially skbuff handling and I now feel happy about implementing the +higher level protocols. + +73's + +Jonathan |
