I'd like to learn more about how the Internet protocols have been implemented within the STREAMS framework. Being new to STREAMS, I have a few simple questions: 1.) Is each layer (IP, TCP, UDP) implemented as a separate module? 2.) When a second TCP connection is opened, is it the case that just a stream head is created and linked to an already existing TCP module, or is another entire TCP/IP stack of modules/queues created for the new connection, assuming the procedures are reentrant? 3.) What work other than that done at Sequent has been done on parallelizing STREAMS for multi-processor UNIX implementations?
