+/*
+ * INET		An implementation of the TCP/IP protocol suite for the LINUX
+ *		operating system.  INET is implemented using the  BSD Socket
+ *		interface as the means of communication with the user level.
+ *
+ *		INET protocol dispatch tables.
+ *
+ * Version:	$Id: protocol.c,v 1.14 2001/05/18 02:25:49 davem Exp $
+ *
+ * Authors:	Ross Biro, <bir7@leland.Stanford.Edu>
+ *		Fred N. van Kempen, <waltje@uWalt.NL.Mugnet.ORG>
+ *
+ * Fixes:
+ *		Alan Cox	: Ahah! udp icmp errors don't work because
+ *				  udp_err is never called!
+ *		Alan Cox	: Added new fields for init and ready for
+ *				  proper fragmentation (_NO_ 4K limits!)
+ *		Richard Colella	: Hang on hash collision
+ *		Vince Laviano	: Modified inet_del_protocol() to correctly
+ *				  maintain copy bit.
