I am looking for the sources for various transport level protocols, such as TCP, XTP, and VMTP. Any pointers or suggestions would be appreciated. Please feel free to respond via email. Thanks.

I don't know where you can get TCP, XTP, VMTP sources for free. Since XTP is owned by Protocol Engine Inc, you can contact them for the source. However, I believe that you have to be TAB member to have to source. Good luck. Jason -- Jason X.G. Chen Dept. 1B84, "WHY???" Ph: (613) 763-4844 Bell-Northern Research Ltd., Fax: (613) 763-2202 P.O.

The XTP protocol itself and its specification are in the public domain. Anyone at all is free to create their own implementation. [For a free copy of the XTP spec, send your surface-mail address to "xtp-request@pei.com".] While it is true that most of the other implementations we've heard of have also been by XTP TAB members (who get the KRM free as part of their membership fee), at least one implementation has been done by a non-TAB member, working only from the spec. -Rob ----- Rob Warnock, MS-1L/515 rpw3@sgi.com rpw3@pei.com Silicon Graphics, Inc.

TCP/IP can be found at any large archive site that keeps the BSD updates. At least the should be at uunet.uu.net. They are also included in Steve Deering's Multicast IP implementation which you need for running VMTP under UNIX. Both VMTP and MIP can be collected from gregorio.stanford.edu. There is a mailing list for vmtp-ip, send messages to vmtp-ip-request@gregorio.stanford.edu. -- Werner Vogels Distributed Systems Group / Projecto de Automatizacao Industrial INESC - Instituto de Engenharia de Sistemas e Computadores Rua Alves Redol, 9-6o - 1000 Lisboa - Portugal Tel: +351 1 545150 ext 280, Fax: +351 1 525843, e-mail: werner@inesc.inesc.pt
