There are a couple of groups with ATM interfaces in progress. From an older msg by Mark Tingley: the first is from the The Applied Research Lab (ARL) of Washington University and the ATOMIC-2 Project at USC/ISI (http://www.arl.wustl.edu/arl) and the files can be downloaded from ftp://dworkin.wustl.edu/dist/bsd/... the second stack is from the Advanced Networking Group at Network Computing Services, Inc, (formerly the Minnesota Supercomputer Center, Inc.) web and downloading instructions are at http://www.msci.magic.net/. you may be interested in subscribing to the freebsd-atm mailing list, by: $ echo "subscribe freebsd-atm" | mail majordomo@freebsd.org > I am also working on my own transport protocol (as part of my PhD thesis) > that routes packets between the (currently ethernet) interfaces of a > FreeBSD machine using explicit rate feedback to the sources to tell them what > rate to transmit it(similar in concept to the ATM Forum's ABR standard). > I understand that Linux has a group that is working on a specially optimized > kernel for use in routing machines, and I was wondering if there is a similar > FreeBSD group.
