[comp.sys.concurrent] SVR4 Transport Layer Interface

dan@seti.jpl.nasa.gov (Daniel Joseph Burns) (04/07/91)

Does anyone know if Concurrent supports (or plans to support) the System V
Release 4 Transport Layer Interface (TLI)?  I am interested in moving from
RPC to transport-independent RPC (TI-RPC) so that my network applications
can run on networks with protocol layers different from TCP-IP.

(P.S. Thanks everyone for the tip on using GNU tar to accomplish an rdump.)

TLI will be supported in RTU 6.0 (just going into beta, and don't even
think of asking me when it will start shipping ... ). Unfortunately
we will still be shipping the old version of SUN RPC/XDR, which just 
supports TCP/IP with a socket interface. 

The Networking/Communications group would really like to hear your
wishlists - the reality is that there are far more networking 
standards out there than we can realistically support, so we have to
prioritize. Knowing our customers' requirements and wishlists helps a lot.
