[nzlug] Uncommon Transport Protocols + Linux

[Raimund Eimann]

Hi,

I suppose that packets with uncommon transport protocols or, more precisely 
protocol numbers for which no handler (such as a TCP stack) exists on a host 
are simply dropped on arrival? I mean transport protocol weirdos such as PUP, 
ARGUS or EMCON, for instance. Does anyone here know which source file in 
Linux is responsible for forwarding incoming packets according to the 
transport protocol number found in the IP header to their appropriate 
handlers? 

Cheers,
Raimund
