[mod.protocols.tcp-ip] Subnet Code for 4.2bsd machines - wanted

martin%sabre@MOUTON.ARPA (Martin J Levy) (11/05/85)

All,
	I'm looking for subnet routing code for both Suns (v1.2 & 2.0)
and 4.2bsd vaxen. I have seen various notes about code be available on
this and other mailing lists, but before i go with the one i have
(utexas), i am asking again.

	The sun code could be harder to get, but i'm sure someone has
done it.

	This code will be used with a Class B network split into
subnets.

The code for the VAXen should work fine on the suns, too -- the IP
implementation is essentially the same. All it takes is source. Even if
you don't have source, try recompiling the inet.c that you use for the
VAX and linking a new kernel for the SUN -- that usually works well.

When I asked Sun about subnet code for their OS, they remarked that
they would pick it up when they updated to 4.3BSD, whenever that was
released.  As 4.3BSD has not yet picked up the ARP hack I would guess
Sun won't, either.

With Sun sources, adding the VAX 4.2BSD code should be easy.
Without, difficult.
