If both are possible what could be the No. You can compile the TCP/IP stack as module for easier loading/unloading but that's all. > advantage or disadvantage of each? Where can i get more information? BTW almost rotuing protocols don't need changes in TCP/IP - they simple use it as is and configure routes from the outside (of the kernel).
