Michael Brown	bac97eb979	Change semantics of network API so that packet-absorbing calls *always* ... take ownership of the packet, rather than doing so only if they return success. This breaks semantic compatibility with Linux's hard_start_xmit() method, but means that we don't have to worry so much about error cases. Split mechanism of processing received packets (net_rx_process()) out from policy (net_step()), preparatory to putting net_step() in a separate object.	2006-04-29 17:17:43 +00:00

Michael Brown	fdc2ee79db	Network API now allows for multiple network devices (although the ... implementation allows for only one, and does so without compromising on the efficiency of static allocation). Link-layer protocols are cleanly separated from the device drivers. Network-layer protocols are cleanly separated from individual network devices. Link-layer and network-layer protocols are cleanly separated from each other.	2006-04-24 15:33:06 +00:00
