I'm wondering if anyone has attempted to develop other protocols on Sun computers using the "open-architecture". From initial inspection of the Sun document "Network Implementation" it appears that one can provide different protocol routines at various layers, and make use of the kernel hooks built into the system, thus provideing socket-type interfaces for protocols other than the currently supported TCP/IP and UDP (I knew I could make this letter pertinent). Specifically, I would like to know if; a) anyone has tried this with other protocols, and if so then which protocols, b) which layers are supported in this open architecture, and c) what problems were encountered if any. Any comments, questions, pointers, etc. are appreciated. Robert Allen robert@spam.istc.sri.com OR robert@sri-spam.ARPA
