What's New

This release is a separate release of the OpenSS7 X.25 and Frame Relay Stack package. Some of the components in this package were formerly present in the strss7 and striso packages. Various networking drivers are provided as CDI, DLPI, NPI, TPI and XTI header files for X.25 and Frame Relay operation. The package contains the necessary manual pakges and other documentation for ISO/OSI X.25 and Frame Relay operation in an autoconf tarball. This release is a pre-alpha release, and is an optional part of the OpenSS7 Master Package (as of openss7-0.9.2.G).

This is the initial separate release from The OpenSS7 Project of the OpenSS7 STREAMS X.25 and Frame Relay package. The package provides components that were previously part of the striso package, as well as providing significant new components for X.25 and Frame Relay operation. This package contains all the necessary manual pages and other documentation. The package is packaged as an OpenSS7 style autoconf tarball.

This is the first pre-alpha release for Linux Fast-STREAMS and is an optional part of the OpenSS7 Master Package (as of openss7-0.9.2.G).

This release is the initial release of the package.

This is the initial public pre-alpha release of the package. Please see README-alpha in the release or Maturity, in the manual.

This package is currently incomplete. It is being released as a reference point for the community. See TODO in the release or Schedule in the manual, for more information about the release schedule. If you are interested in completion of this package, contact info@openss7.com.

Major features since the last public release are as follows:

• Minor documentation corrections.
• Kernel module license made explicit GPL v2. And then changed back to GPL.

This is another public release of the OpenSS7 Master Package. See README in the release for a sub-package listing. Most of the sub-packages in the release are production grade for Linux Fast-STREAMS. All existing validation test suites run clean on supported distributions and architectures.

The OpenSS7 Master Package is not released as often as the sub-packages. As sub-packages are released more often, to rebuild the master package with a new sub-package release, simply replace the directory to which the sub-package belongs with the unpacked sub-package release and then rebuild the master package. This release provides support for recent distributions and tool chains.

Major features since the last public release are as follows:

• License upgrade to AGPL Version 3.
• Modifications to build under Fedora 2.6.22.5-49 kernel. These changes also support 2.6.22.9-91.fc7 kernel. Modifications to build under Fedora 2.6.25-45.fc9 and 2.6.26.5-45.fc9 kernels. Documented lib32gcc1 problem on Ubuntu. Noted problem running under XEN kernels. XEN kernels are not yet supported. Added MODULE_VERSION to all modules and drivers.
• Ability to strap out major documentation build and installation primarily for embedded targets. Improvements to common build process for embedded and cross-compile targets. Cross-compile fixes (strap out AC_FUNC_REALLOC macro when cross-compiling). Conversion of RPM spec files to common approach for major subpackages.
• Build system now builds yum(8) repositories for RPMs and apt-get(8) repositories for DEBs. Installation documentation has been updated to include details of repository install sourcesref.
• Higher performance and updated performance papers.
• Updated tool chain to m4-1.4.12, autoconf-2.63 and texinfo-4.13. Support for flex 2.5.33 in maintainer mode.
• Updated references database for manual pages and roff(1) documents.
• Added the following major sub-packages to the master build (and release):
  • strx25-0.9.2.1
• All of the major subpackages that are at production release have maintenance upgrades for new production kernels, distributions and tool chains. Many of the major subpackages have greatly expanded documentation and provide additional modules and drivers not previously available in public releases. Significant feature updates were made to:
  • strxns-0.9.2.7

GNU/Linux glibc provides (among other things) the RPC interface library and the TS-RPC and BSD 4.3 sockets address translation facilities in libc, and provides NIS capabilities in libnsl. STREAMS related components that are not currently part of the Linux Network Services Library (libnsl) are:

1. Network Selection, consisting of:
• Network Configuration database access, netconfig(3), and,
• Network Path access, netpath(3).
2. Name-to-Address Translation, netdir(3).

These are often referred to as the Network Selection facility of the Network Services Library. The OpenSS7 STREAMS Network Services Library package provides a library, renamed libxnsl, that provides the missing Network Selection and Name-to-Address mapping facilities designed to work with xti(3).

The OpenSS7 STREAMS Network Services Library package contains header files and the associated documentation that were originally contained in the strxnet package. This library was quickly removed from the strxnet distribution and placed in its own add-on package.

This is another separate release from The OpenSS7 Project of the OpenSS7 STREAMS Network Services Library package. This package provides the libxnsl library providing the Network Selection Facility for the Network Services Library. The package contains all the necessary manual pages and other documentation.

Included are hardware device drivers and pseudo-device drivers that provide implementations of specific channels. A pseudo-device driver is planned to link into the Linux OSS (Open Sound System) and ALS (Advanced Linux Sound). Specific E1/T1 cards such as the V401P are supported by this package.

This package also supports data channel protocols for data communication over isochronous channels such as HDLC and SS7 DAEDR/DAEDT/AERM/SUERM. Upper layer link protocols, such as LAPB, LAPF, LAPM and LLC are supported by separate packages. These modules are provided here because they work directly over an isochronous channel and are therefore designed to work with them. These data links provide support for the OpenSS7 STREAMS X.25 and Frame Relay, OpenSS7 STREAMS ISO/OSI as well as the OpenSS7 STREAMS ISDN Stacks and OpenSS7 STREAMS SS7 Stack packages.

Note that no component in this package can be supported by LiS: LiS is simply too slow to allow these drivers to achieve any degree of efficiency necessary for proper operation.

This is the fourth separate release from The OpenSS7 Project of the OpenSS7 STREAMS Channels package. The package provides components that were previously part of the strss7 package. This package contains all the necessary manual pages and other documentation. The package is packaged as an OpenSS7 style autoconf tarball.

This is the fourth pre-alpha release for Linux Fast-STREAMS and is an optional part of the OpenSS7 Master Package (as of openss7-0.9.2.D).

This release is a maintenance release providing support for recent distributions and tool chains.

The OpenSS7 NETPERF Utility package provide primarily the netperf(1) and netserver(8), C Language programs that act as Netperf client or server for testing connections and networking. The netserver(8) program is executed on one host acting as a server, and then netperf(1) is executed on another (or the same) host acting in client mode. Characteristics of the connection or association can be altered when formed. Reporting formats and sample intervals can also be altered when the connection or association is formed. Users executing netperf(1) do not need to have shell access to the netserver(8) host.

This is a fork of the Netperf package released by Hewlett-Packard modified by the OpenSS7 Project for use with OpenSS7 STREAMS XNS, XTI/TLI, INET and SCTP packages. This OpenSS7 release of the package is based on the Netperf-2.3 release from Hewlett-Packard.

Modifications to the package are derived from the OpenSS7 STREAMS XNS, XTI/TLI, INET and SCTP implementations and are release under the GNU Affero General Public License (AGPL) Version 3. The Netperf tool itself is licensed under specific terms by Hewlett-Packard. Please see file LICENSES in the release for the Hewlett-Packard Netperf copyright notices and licensing restrictions. This is the seventh full release of the OpenSS7 NETPERF Utility package. This release is a stable, production grade release for Linux Fast-STREAMS and is part of the OpenSS7 Master Package (openss7-0.9.2.F).

The OpenSS7 IPERF Utility package provides primarily the iperf(1) C++ Language program that acts as either an Iperf server or client for testing connections and networking. The iperf(1) program is executed on one host in server mode and then executed on another (or the same) host in client mode. Characteristics of the connection or association can be altered when formed. Reporting formats and sample intervals can also be altered when the connection or association is formed.

This is a fork of the "Iperf" package released by the University of Illinois modified by the OpenSS7 Project for use with OpenSS7 SCTP (Stream Control Transmission Protocol). This OpenSS7 release of the package is based on the Iperf-2.0.0 release from the University of Illinois.

Modifications to the package are derived from the OpenSS7 SCTP implementation and are released under the GNU Affero General Public License (AGPL) Version 3. The Iperf tool itself is licensed under specific terms by the University of Illinois. Please see LICENSES for the University of Illinois Iperf copyright notices and licensing restrictions.

This is the OpenSS7 Project's eigth release of the University of Illinois iperf package, modified to work with the OpenSS7 Linux Native (Sockets) implementation of SCTP (Stream Control Transmission Protocol - RFC 2960). This package contains all of the necessary manual pages and files, and configures and installs against almost any 2.4 kernel, even production kernels.

This is the OpenSS7 Project's eigth release of the iperf package modified for OpenSS7 SCTP. This is the package that was used to perform the performance tests shown here.

This release is largely a maintenance release that provides support for more distributions an architectures as well as tracking feature updates on related packages (i.e. sctp-0.2.27).

Major features since the last public release are as follows:

• Minor documentation corrections.
• License upgrade to AGPL Version 3.
• Support for flex 2.5.33 in maintainer mode.
• Ability to strap out major documentation build and installation primarily for embedded targets.
• Improvements to common build process for embedded and cross-compile targets.
• Updated tool chain to m4-1.4.12, autoconf-2.63 and texinfo-4.13.
• Conversion of RPM spec files to common approach for major subpackages.
• Updated references database for manual pages and roff documents.
• Build system now builds yum(8) repositories for RPMs and apt-get(8) repositories for DEBs. Installation documentation has been updated to include details of repository install sourcesref.
• Added MODULE_VERSION to all modules and drivers.

This is an OpenSS7 Project modified release of the GPL Dialogic(R) OSR 6.1 Release 239 drivers modified for use with Linux Fast-STREAMS.

The Dialogic Open Systems Release 6.1 package includes kernel modules, SVR 4.2 STREAMS drivers, modules, libraries, utilities, test programs, daemons, and development environment for the development and execution of Dialogic Open Systems Release 6.1 components and applications for the SVR 4.2 STREAMS environment. It provides true STREAMS-based Dialogic(R) OSR 6.1 drivers for Linux. This is the third release from The OpenSS7 Project of the Dialogic Open Systems Release 6.1 package and is now part of the OpenSS7 Master Package (openss7-0.9.2.F). This package provides dlgn, mercd and pmacd device drivers, as well as a dvbm and sctmr module. Additional drivers are the gncfd and gpio modules. The package contains all the necessary manual pages and other documentation for components in an autoconf tarball.

This release is the third public release.
