frequency of netlink messages

Question

I am using the inet_diag module and libpcap to get the uid of the user who accessed the url I captured using libpcap. As there may be many urls captured per second, I was wondering if there was a limit to how many netlink msgs should be sent per second, and if I should cache and occasionally refresh, or blithely send a msg every time a url is captured.

Answer 1

Such a limit would be artifical - no real reason to have it. Just send as many as you need.
