Hi Folks, Just checking out some developer info on OS/X and I came upon this interesting quote: For kernel developers, Darwin provides the Network Kernel Extension (NKE) facility. This allows developers to create networking modules and even entire protocol stacks that can be dynamically loaded and unloaded. NKEs also make it possible to configure protocol stacks automatically and easily monitor and modify network traffic. At the data-link and network layers, they can also receive notifications of asynchronous events from device drivers. Can anyone comment on the progeny of the TCP/IP stack in Mac OS/X? Did they do a rewrite or just tweaks? Granted this may all be market speak but if it's true it would indicate some significant changes. Thanks, George -- George V.
