Hi,
does anyone know details on the status of bug 1078980 (see
http://bugs.opensolaris.org/view_bug.do?bug_id=1078980)? Looking at
uts/common/fs/sockfs/socksyscalls.c, Solaris can still only decide
between two hardcoded address families:
160
161 if (protocol == IPPROTO_SCTP) {
162 so = sosctp_create(accessvp, domain, type, protocol,
version,
163 NULL, &error);
164 } else {
165 so = sotpi_create(accessvp, domain, type, protocol,
version,
166 NULL, &error);
167 }
We need this to implement ultra low-latency socket communication (<3us
latency) as we did on Linux (see
http://www.dolphinics.com/papers/abstract/sci_socket.html). STREAMS is
*much* to slow.
I'm somewhat irritated that Solaris still is (or better: has become!)
unflexible in this respect - esp. compared with Linux...
