Hi 
I have the following doubts.
What does the dst field signiy in the skbuff structure? When will it be null? Will it be null when the packet received is a multicast packet?
I have a senario like this. I have written some code which is hooked to the netfilters. Suppose I want a packet that has come to the netfilter hooks, has to be given back to stack. Should I call NF_ACCEPT or should I call ip_route_input. I have seen in some code that when dst is null, ip_route_input is being called, else NF_ACCEPT is being called. 
Kindly clarify r suggest me some good link. 
cheers
Suresh
