- Hi,
- We are looking for suggestions for protocols to be used over a medium speed
- serial communications channel (probably 1.5Mb/sec). We have a requirement to
- implement a unidirectional 'socket-like' interface between communicating
- processes. We would like to be able to route the data to unix hosts on a
- standard LAN (FDDI or Ethernet). We would build the 'router' hardware, but the
- protocol would have to include IP-like addressing capability.
-
- Our set-up is a little unusual:
-
- o The return path from the unix systems is much slower than the data comming up.
-
- o Most data will destined for the unix systems.
-
- o The unix systems can 'broadcast' to the remote systems.
-
- o There will be little peer-to-peer communication between the remote nodes.
-
- Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
-
- Regards,
-
- Derek Mathieson...
