- Hi ....
- I'm implementing a simple protocol in System V Streams and I
- need some advice.
- I'm using System V Rel 4 Ver 4.0 (386) and the following entries
- are found under /dev: rawip, udp, ip, tcp, and under /dev/inet, similar
- entries are found. There is also /dev/ie6_0.
- I plan to implement the protocol at the same level as udp. It
- would be a multiplexor resting on top of ip. I know that if I want to
- set up such a configuration, I could use the autopush facility.
- Is there any way for me to determine how the various protocols
- are stacked on top of one another and how this is done by the system
- i.e. the various steps and commands needed? For example, am I right to
- guess that the following modules/multiplexors are stacked in the manner
- below:
- ---------------
- |udp|tcp|rawip|
- ---------------
- | ip |
- ---------------
- | ie6_0 |
- ---------------
- Also, is there a shorter way to the cycle of generating the object
- code, rebuilding the kernel and rebooting the system :(?
- Finally, can anyone point me in the direction of documention of
- the TLI primitives and how they are used?
- I would be grateful for any help.
- Thanks!
