Ismail: There is no implementation of XTP in LiS. LiS would serve as a good vehicle for the implementation of XTP. Because STREAMS allows the configuration of arbitrary protocol stacks you have the most flexibility possible for your protocol implementation. LiS has a special STREAMS driver (ldl) which allows any Linux network MAC driver to be accessed via STREAMS using the DLPI STREAMS protocol. (DLPI is the standard MAC interfacing protocol in the STREAMS world.) As a part of an XTP implementation you might want to create a socket type for STREAMS so that an application could open a socket of type STREAMS and get connected to the top of a STREAMS stack. This might allow for the gradual use of XTP as the transport mechanism for the standard internet protocols such as Telnet, Mail and FTP. Such a mechanism would be a good addition to the LiS package.
