We're developing a distributed real-time aircraft simulation
based on interprocesser communication over ethernet. The system
is built around two DEC VAX computers running VMS and DECNET,
however we foresee the addition of a Gould computer, some Sun
workstations, and some special purpose 68xxx based computers.
We're currently looking for an efficient network protocol that's
available for a wide variety of systems. We've heard negative
comments about the overhead of DECnet, and we're unsure about
it's availability for non-DEC systems. Also, someone mentioned
NFS, but we've never heard of it.
Any information or pointers to information related to ethernet
and network protocols (particularly NFS), or descriptions of
similar systems will be greatly appreciated. Please send
responses directly to me.
Thanks,
