Hi!
I will implementing a network protocol stack in NetBSD 1.4.2,
and want to have some points where I should start.
The network technology is channel (and connection) oriented.
To be able to send any data on the network, a channel has to
be created first.
When creating a channel alot of information has to be specified,
such as the bandwidth and destination host. This data must be
supplied to the device driver.
How should I solve this? Should the device and the protocol
stack communicate using ioctl's?
Do anyone know of other implementations of channel/connection
oriented network protocol stacks implemented in BSD ?
