[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

[9fans] Plan 9 IPv4 router

2011-07-30 Thread smiley
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

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

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

As far, as I know, there was some NAT work in Plan9. But I can't remember... Sources of this work is on my work laptop :) https://hg.9grid.fr/plan9-nat/ I did a NAT implementation some times ago. It's working, but it's still an early work and I haven't worked on it for few months. It is
