Should not be a problem, although I currently don't know whether Adam still supports L4Linux2.4. > How do the 'guest' kernels communicate to each other in an L4 > environment? Depends. If you have some applications that are aware of running on top of L4, these can use L4 IPC for communication. > In User Mode Linux (UML) and Xen on the guest kernels there > is built-in support for pseudo Ethernet devices; these devices are then > bridged together on the host kernel.

Yes, of course. The only difference in our architecture is, that our network bridge is not running in a kernel, but as a user-space application right along with your Linux kernels. It is called ORe and can be found in l4/pkg/ore. L4Linux comes with a network device driver stub that interfaces ORe.
