Hi Folks,
Just checking out some developer info on OS/X and I came upon this
interesting quote:
For kernel developers, Darwin provides the Network Kernel Extension (NKE)
facility. This
allows developers to create networking modules and even entire protocol stacks
that can be
dynamically loaded and unloaded. NKEs also make it possible to configure
protocol stacks
automatically and easily monitor and modify network traffic. At the data-link
and network
layers, they can also receive notifications of asynchronous events from device
drivers.
Can anyone comment on the progeny of the TCP/IP stack in Mac OS/X?
Did they do a rewrite or just tweaks? Granted this may all be market speak
but if
it's true it would indicate some significant changes.
Thanks,
George
