Hi,

There are 2 kinds of approach discussed in this forum for the receiving of
tcp packets without going through the tcp state machine.

1) introduction of tcp_encap hook , which means a change in the existing
kernel,

2)Using tcp raw sockets and sk->sk_data_ready callback function for
receiving the tcp packet. This would not involve a change in the kernel.

Could you please let me know why was the first approach chosen, despite
both the approaches does the same thing.

Thanks & Regards,
Satish
