NonStop TCP/IP Processes and Protocols
The socket interface is modeled after the BSD socket interface to facilitate porting of
existing UNIX TCP/IP applications to a NonStop system. For a detailed description of
the socket library routines and a summary of the differences between the NonStop
TCP/IP socket interface and the 4.3BSD UNIX interface, refer to the
TCP/IP
Programming Manual.
NonStop TCP/IP Processes and Protocols
The NonStop TCP/IP subsystem has a wide range of capabilities provided by a
number of individual components, acting alone or together. Figure B-9
shows a
detailed view of the NonStop TCP/IP subsystem’s internal processes and components.
The next subsection describes the components shown in Figure B-9
