    Hi,

    I'm currently fighting my way through the kernel but I haven't found the
    right place yet.

    I'm searching for the way sockets are handled by the kernel.

    I'm creating a socket and get a sockfd. With the proper methods I can
    read and write. But how does the kernel know to which application he has
    to give the data?

    It's even more complicated with AF_PACKET.

    thanks and sorry for the stupid question.

    Daniel
