Hm, RTnet is a real-time capable network protocol stack and it makes
little sense to use it in a non-real-time environment. What are you
looking for? Why is the normal Linux network protocol stack not suitable
for your app?
RTnet is based on RTDM, which is not available for vanilla Linux, but
I'm currently working on a RTDM port over Linux kernel services with the
real-time preemption patch [1]. It will allow to use RTnet with Linux-rt
in the near future.

Hello Wolfgang,
Actually I didnot ask the question clearly, sorry for that. I want RTnet in
RT-Preempt kernel. Very happy to know that you are working on it. May I know
when it will be available?
I am a starter in Linux so I want to know & explore more on RTDM. Suppose if
you assign me the same task of porting RTDM over linux kernel services with
rt-preempt patch, How I have to proceed? Any tutorial or manual can you
please suggest me.
Sorry for the stupid question.
Thanks and regards
Saiful
