Hello all! It is with great pleasure that i announce to all of you on the arch and kernel lists that my stab at an IP Stack in Java finally actually does something. As most of you probably already know UDP is a very simple protocol built on top of IP, that provides little extra features besided port numbers and being accessible from userspace. It was therefore not extremely difficult to implement rudimental UDP into JEPS once i had IP and ICMP sort of working. Next i started implementing clones of selected methods of some java.net classes in order to get sample programs to run on JEPS, and to my surprise it worked rather well. Incorporated into release 0.001e of JEPS is the example UDP server program "QuoteServer" (http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/networking/datagrams/clientServer.h tml) that replies to UDP packets on a certain port with a quote extracted from a file, or the current time if this file is unavailable. The QuoteServerThread class has been modified only slightly to fit into JEPS and works, as far as have been able to tell, perfectly. I urge you all to give it a little more perusal :) You can get the JEPS Stack's latest version from http://villa28.cs.kpn.cx/jos/ as usual, or refer to the TCPIPStack and JEPS topics on the WIKI-web.
