It would be really keen if someone could and would say something numeric about the relative speed of TLI (ne XLI or whatever--any version more recent than the one delivered to AT&T in 1986) compared to sockets (any version from 4.2 to Reno and beyond). Yes, this is my quarterly request for time-to-port-ttcp-from-sockets-to-tli and/or performance-of-ttcp-over-tli numbers. (TTCP is the most common TCP benchmark. Most commonly used as well as most commonly abused and perverted to generate marketing numbers, and most commonly enhanced to do things the enhancer considers important. Look for the authorative source on brl.mil and more or less true copies many other places, including sgi.com.) Vernon Schryver Silicon Graphics vjs@sgi.com
