Subjectanalysing ip_rcv code problems
hello,
I know that in kernel 2.4 series,
function used to receive IP packets is ip_rcv. But i
am not getting where exactly IP header is removed that
is following lines from function ip_rcv can be used to
remove IP header






if (!pskb_may_pull(skb,
sizeof(struct iphdr)))

goto inhdr_error;

iph = skb->nh.iph;



...

...


...

...

and also
following lines from same kernel is used to remove
header as IP
header length is 20 bytes then which function actually
does IP header removal.
if (!pskb_may_pull(skb,
iph->ihl*4))

goto inhdr_error;



iph = skb->nh.iph;




Also why iph = skb->nh.iph statement is used twice in
function code ip_rcv.


regards,

cranium.
