No, it just means that the TCP socklnd would be relatively straight forward to port to your networking, compared to a completely different network stack. > Another related question.

That means an MTU some bytes smaller than 8192 (for eth, IP, TCP headers). > > -----Original Message----- > > From: Eric Barton [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > > Sent: Friday, December 22, 2006 5:15 PM > > To: Lin Shen (lshen); [email protected] > > Subject: RE: [Lustre-discuss] Running Luster on top of TIPC > > > > > We use TIPC for inter-node communication in our system instead of > > > TCP/IP.
