It means i will make some modifications to TCP and therefore in the transport layer. Do i need to modify the Kernel to do my implementation? or there are some kernel modules i can modify as for the case of implementing a routing protocol in the network layer? If both are possible what could be the advantage or disadvantage of each? Where can i get more information? Thank you in advance, Nadia Ramirez
