“Spider Software, a UK-based developer of networking
protocol software, announced today that it has ported SpiderSTREAMS
to Linux to provide a platform for the deployment of wide area
communications protocols.”
“Spider’s implementation runs the STREAMS protocol stacks as a
Linux process, and interacts with applications which wish to use
the STREAMS services through a specially developed inter-process
communication driver. This approach requires no modifications to
the Linux kernel code, and will work well with real-time extensions
to the system.”
“SpiderSTREAMS acts as an enabling technology, which provides
the means for Spider’s Frame Relay, ISDN, X.25, TCP and SS7
STREAMS-based protocol stacks to run in many operating system
environments.”
