Thanks Mulyadi Santosa & Abhijit Pawar. My Target is not bring the Pkts to User Space which is costly. Trying to do that by using LKM. Seems to be; it is possible through skbuffers whose structure have the provision to identify the Protocol. -Thnx, VKS On Thu, Nov 17, 2011 at 12:36 AM, Abhijit Pawar <apawar.linux@gmail.com>wrote:

HI Guys,
I'm a Newbie to Linux Kernel Development. Need some Clarification in understanding Net-Filter Hooks.
Can I register only for the Necessary Packets [Ex: IPSEC etc...] from the Net-Filters?? AFAIK ; Net-Filter Module send the Packets to the Corresponding Module based on pre-defined HOOKS. Let us say; there are Many Packets reaching that Hooks; and if I am Interested only in some Packets from Net-Filter module; can I do that ???
something like: iptables [some rules] -j ULOG ?
Check "man iptables" and see if that suits your need. FYI ULOG target uses netlink to deliver the packet to user space for further processing.
Hi Kesava Srinivas, If this is for any application in user space, I would recommend you take a look at libPcap.
