2011-07-30 Thread Charles Forsyth
the value of a fid is a 32-bit number, but a server will typically have a practical upper limit on how many distinct values it can track, limited for instance by memory. in your Arduino case, a dozen or so would normally be plenty, and the server can reject Tattach,Tauth, and Twalk requests with an

Hi ! Answer is simple - no. But this doesn't mean that you can't use plan9 as a core technology for router os ;) Current IP stack doesn't support NAT (dirty hack was made by some plan9 geek), rate limits and other useless features of lunix router. Currently lunix router on a ugly and messy MIPS

Hi, all, Does anybody know if it's possible to use Plan 9 as an IPv4 router? I know you can export the /net file system to other Plan 9 boxen, but I'm wondering about using Plan 9 to create a network appliance/router. I'm envisioning using Plan 9 to do things that Linux iptables does... route pa

[9fans] 9p specification: minimum number of fids?

2011-07-30 Thread smiley
So, I've read the specification of the 9P protocol in section 5 of the Plan 9 manual. However, the specification does not state how many fids a 9P server is required to support. Is there a minimum number of fids that a server is required to track? Is this specified in the latest version of the 9
