Summary: Why STREAMS ?
Xref: mnetor comp.dcom.lans:674 comp.protocols.tcp-ip:650

Would someone please post a summary of reasons why use of Streams is
an advantage.  Is this just another sales-hype buzzword?  or is there
a reason Streams is better?  than sockets?  than psudo-sockets? or
select?  Does the end user see any advantage?  faster response?  less
CPU waste?  what?  Does anyone have some before & after figures on
drivers that were converted to Streams?  Please share them with us.
  Thanks,
