The Linux Kernel - TX

  1. dev_queue_xmit calls OpenRG TX hooks for this packet. Hooks may "consume" or alter the packet. Such actions may be dropped by the firewall, perform NAPT, etc.
  2. If the packet was not consumed by OpenRG hooks, it is enqueued to the device queue.
  3. The Linux kernel then schedules a dequeue task.
