I'd like to learn more about how the Internet protocols have been
implemented within the STREAMS framework. Being new to STREAMS, I have a
few simple questions:
1.) Is each layer (IP, TCP, UDP) implemented as a separate module?
2.) When a second TCP connection is opened, is it the case that
just a stream head is created and linked to an already existing
TCP module, or is another entire TCP/IP stack of modules/queues
created for the new connection, assuming the procedures are
reentrant?
3.) What work other than that done at Sequent has been done on
parallelizing STREAMS for multi-processor UNIX implementations?
Thanks,
Scott
