Understanding Linux Network Internals: Frame Reception

Category: Software and Web Development, Servers and Server OS, Networking and Communications

Overview This paper discusses about frame reception, where the hardware uses an interrupt to signal the CPU about the availability of the frame. The IRQ number causes the right handler to be invoked. The handler is typically a function within the device driver registered at device driver initialization time. IRQ function handlers are executed in interrupt mode, with further interrupts temporarily disabled.
