|
Overview:- |
The Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) Transport Provider Interface (TPI) access component is
an implementation of a STREAMS driver which provides TPI access to the native Linux NET4 TCP
implementation.
TCP is a fundamental component of some Signalling Transport (SIGTRAN) adaptation layers such as
Tekelec'c Adaptation Layer Interface (TALI).
|
|
History:- |
Work on the TCP transport component began in January 2001.
|
|
Status:- |
The STREAMS TPI interface to the native Linux NET4 TCP is in the Maintenance
stage.
|
|
Dependencies:- |
The current STREAMS inet interface release depends on a Linux 2.4.x kernel and a currnet LiS
(e.g. 2.16.16). This INET interface package is an integral component of the current LiS
releases and need not be downloaded separately.
