Who chooses when a UDP packet is dropped? The freaking network adapter device driver which is what I said in the first place!

- user5994461 10y agoThere is a lot more in the transmission chain than just that driver.
- blackflame7000 10y agoBut it's the driver of the NIC that manages its network packet queue! Then it uses a an interrupt to signal the OS that data is available or that the window is open for transmit. I'm totally aware there's a lot more to it, I do socket programming everyday.
