I need to account for packets on a per-session basis, where a session endpoint is a UDP port. So, knowing global protocol numbers is good, but it is not very useful for the detailed accounting I need.
Why can't you just disable the other UDP services, and then there is no question which UDP server/client is causing the drops.
Every argument I hear is one out of lazyness. And that is not a reason to add something. Simply put, I don't want to add all of this per-socket counter bumping that only, at best, 1 tenth of 1 percent of people will use. This means that the rest of the world eats the overhead just for this small group that actually uses it. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
