| Overview:- |
The User Datagram Protocol (UDP) Transport Provider Interface (TPI) access component is an
implementaiton of a STREAMS driver which provides TPI access to the native Linux NET4 TCP
implementation.
UDP is a fundamental component of some Signalling Transport (SIGTRAN) protocols such as the
Besseler IPSS7 component.
|
|
| History:- |
Work on the UDP transport component began in January 2001.
|
|
| Status:- |
The STREAMS UDP interface to the native Linux NET4 UDP is in the Maintenance
stage.
|
|
| Dependencies:- |
The current STREAMS INET interface release depends on a Linux kernel and STREAMS.
This INET interface package is an integral component of the current Linux Fast-STREAMS
releases and need not be downloaded separately.
