Could be better anyway. Um...I'm not sure which buffers you're talking about, but if you're talking about skbufs, they cannot change in size, and are allocated as the size of each datagram that comes in. This means that when it comes time to reassemble a fragmented packet, a new skbuf large enough for the entire packet is allocated and all of the packet data is copied. cjs -- Curt Sampson cjs@portal.ca Info at http://www.portal.ca/ Internet Portal Services, Inc.
