[comp.protocols.tcp-ip] TCPtrace port to HP

lazear@GATEWAY.MITRE.ORG (06/12/90)

I have a colleague who needs to know the effort required to
port TCPtrace to an HP 3000.  I don't know if there's some
showstoppers in the kernel arrangement that would prevent
this from being easy.  I assume IP is similar enough to make 
that portion a wash.  Please write me directly.

Did you say 3000 ??? Or did you really mean 9000? The 3000 runs one of
two versions of the MPE OS (MPE/V for the 'classic' h/w and MPE/XL for
the 'spectrum' (new whizzy risc ;-) h/w. It's TCP/IP is an in-house
implementation that does not look at all like standard BSD TCP/IP. It
also uses NetIPC and not BSD sockets, so the interface to the
transport layer is not the same... It's the 9000 that runs the BSD
bits...
