After a long period of continued improvements and bug fixing, I'm happy to announce the availability of RTnet, developed by Lineo ISG (formerly Zentropix). RTnet is a modification of the existing Linux networking subsystem to provide real-time performance for sending and receiving packets over standard IP networks. The IP, ICMP, and UDP protocols are supported. TCP is not supported, because it is not possible to make it real-time. The programming interface is identical to the standard sockets interface, making it (almost) source code compatible with user-space applications that use Linux networking. Since it is based on Linux networking, RTnet should be able to communicate with existing network stacks. RTnet can be used with either RTLinux-2.3 and RTAI-1.3, and may be distributed and modified under the Gnu GPL. The code is still beta, but it is stable enough to be used in applications. Let me know if you have questions/find bugs, etc. Patches for new drivers and improvements are welcome. RTnet is available at ftp://ftp.lineoisg.com/pub/rtnet/rtnet-0.9.0.tgz. dave... -- [rtl] --- To unsubscribe: echo "unsubscribe rtl" | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] OR echo "unsubscribe rtl <Your_email>" | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] --- For more information on Real-Time Linux see: http://www.rtlinux.org/rtlinux/
