Re: Network Server Ankh

Dear Adam,

Thank You very much for the response. Do You mean that the l4shmnet
can be used as a communication channel between two (or more ?)
instances of l4linux over TCP/IP?

By the way, how should then the start scripts seem? Would it be again
like a client - server type interaction between both instances? For
instance would it work with the following set up and would I see for
example a ping request and response of each side?

local my_channel = l:new_channel();

local linux_caps1 = {
  log = L4.Env.log:m("rws");
  vbus = io_caps.linux_bus1,
  rtc = rtc_caps.rtc,
  rom = L4.Env.rom,
  myL4shm = my_channel:svr(),
};

 l:start(
        {
               caps = linux_caps1,
        },
        "rom/vmlinuz1 mem=512M console=ttyLv0
l4shmnet.add=test_l4shm,macpart=01 ramdisk=rom/ramdisk1 root=1:0
ramdisk_size=5000 l4x_rd=rom/ramdisk1 init=/sbin/init");


local linux_caps2 = {
  log = L4.Env.log:m("r");
  vbus = io_caps.linux_bus1,
  rtc = rtc_caps.rtc,
  rom = L4.Env.rom,
  myL4shm = my_channel,
};

 l:start(
        {
               caps = linux_caps2,
        },
        "rom/vmlinuz2 mem=512M console=ttyLv0
l4shmnet.add=test_l4shm,macpart=02 ramdisk=rom/ramdisk2 root=1:0
ramdisk_size=5000 l4x_rd=rom/ramdisk2 init=/sbin/init");

Many thanks in advance,

Regards,

Yes, basically a software network switch with an (optional) network
driver.

No, l4shmnet is only between two partners. The driver is there but
disabled because it's not working.
