Raju,

I suggest you look into the source code of the linux source code since they do
have a linux implementation somewhere.

RV>>>Hi,
RV>>>
RV>>>There are several ways to receive RSVP Path messages (the Resv messages

RV>>>
RV>>>1. Both FreeBSD and Linux have modified the IP forwarding in the kernel

RV>>>2. You can also use ipfw to define some filters to intercept the messages.

RV>>>3. In my past life, I had written a kernel extension for FreeBSD that

RV>>>Check http://www.cs.columbia.edu/~pingpan/software_list.htm
