apropos of this discussion I refer interested parties to: http://www.networks.digital.com/npb/html/atm-starter-kit.html Code and docs. Has switched VCs, i think. Also: http://lrcwww.epfl.ch/linux-atm/#current worth a look. code and docs. spec for the socket level. My only change to all this so far is that in MINI, mmap on a socket is meaningful: it gets you the hardware for the virtual interface for the VC, mapped into your address space. Aside from that, all this fits. It's amazing how well the socket/bind/accept/connect etc. model has aged. (it's also amazing how ugly these ISO addresses are: country-code in the address. Hey, if i fly to france with my laptop, does its name change?) >From the first glance the DEC stuff may be a little cleaner and less linux-specific, hence easier for freebsd to use. If linux-atm continues to move too much faster than freebsd-atm I may move over to that for a while ... ron Ron Minnich |"Inferno runs on MIPS ..., Intel ..., and AMD's rminnich@sarnoff.com |29-kilobit-per-second chip-based architectures ..."
