Interesting... I didn't even know we had Ethernet over firewire :). Mac OS X and Windows XP both have IP over firewire either working or in the works and somewhat usable. The only one I can claim any experience with is Mac OS X. It's somewhat flaky though and you get unreliable spikes in some basic performance tests I have done with it. It would be a really interesting value added feature for FreeBSD 5.x and could potentially open FBSD up even more to the "cluster" market which is somewhere its not as proliferated as linux. With the advent of firewire2 on the horizon it may be even more impressive. I believe there is even an Oracle product for linux which can cluster databases over firewire now. [I don't know if its IP though] Dave On Wednesday, March 5, 2003, at 01:43 AM, Rossam Souza Silva wrote: > > Hi, there is some plan to port NetBSD's implementation of IP over > Firewire?
