Message-ID: <13914@joyce.istc.sri.com> Date: 20 Sep 88 21:51:11 GMT Sender: nobody@joyce.istc.sri.com Reply-To: robert@spam.istc.sri.com () Organization: SRI International Lines: 23 I am engaged in porting some neworking software to an HP9000/300. The software was written for 4.2/4.3 BSD compatibility, so it will not port directly to HP/UX 6.01. Currently I am trying to solve some of the problems encountered in the port, and as a result I have two questions for people at HP: (1) I've heard rumor that HP/UX 6.01 has removed the ARP cache from the kernel (ie. it is gone from the operating system). Is this true? If so, why was it done? If so, how often is ARPing done, and how/where is the result stored? (2) Since HP/UX 6.01 has removed the rtnet and rthost structures from the publically available header files where BSD keeps them, and has put them into route.c, I'm wondering if the network and host routing tables are exactly the same as under 4.2 or 4.3 BSD. If not could someone post what the structure is like? Thanks much. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Robert Allen, robert@spam.istc.sri.com, 415-859-2143 (work phone, days) --------------------------------------------------------------------------
