- .... Still, this leaves the question, where are the RFC 1001/2 equivalents
- for doing Named Pipes on TCP/UDP? Not worth the effort??
-
- My personal opinion (which may be from way out in left field, since I've
- not done any actual named-pipes applications) is based on my understanding
- that Microsoft based named pipes on a Netbios-style flat namespace, with
- broadcast name defense implied. This works badly in an internetworking
- environment, just like Netbios. I think you can run at least some
- named-pipes applications with a glue layer that thranslates to Netbios calls,
- and that appears to be satisfying whatever demand there is...
