- <AFAIK>
- Envoy and AS225 both implement IP and UDP. AS225 includes, of course, TCP and
- Envoy includes RDP (RFC 1151 & 908). nipc.library is part of Envoy and (probably)
- implements the communication with AS225 but AS225 doesn't need nipc.library.
- </AFAIK>

- I would prefer one IP stack with RDP support. Imagine:
- s = socket ( PF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, IPPROTO_RDP );
-
- Hey, might be a nice idea for Linux/NetBSD: add RDP support to the kernel and
- write Envoy demons/clients :-)
