We will be participating in a project that will require running some already devleoped X Window System applications over a prototype high speed network. It appears that a good route for us is to get tcp/ip running over this network, so that X and other network stuff falls out for free (?). What I'm looking for is information on what is required in order to get tcp/ip running over an arbitrary network. I.e. is the source public domain and what parts would need changing? Are their commercial companies specialize in this? An alternative might be to just port X to run an alternative protocol. Any suggestions on what protocol or how much work this would be? This would run on a sun sparc server type machine. Thanks, Brad Hemminger bmh@rad.unc.edu Dept of Radiology (919) 966-2998

If you are going to get to really high speeds, consider enhancing your TCP with the options in RFC 1072 and 1185. Craig
