Networking

The following features provide various methods of networking on the target:

SLIP

The SLIP feature allows serial lines to be used as network interfaces. This feature needs to be configured in order to fully support the ADMIN_SLIP feature as well as the various slip related commands provides by the Sun Embedded Workshop system.

For more details, see SLIP(5FEA).

POSIX_SOCKETS

The POSIX_SOCKETS feature provides a TCP/IP stack through POSIX-compatible socket system calls. For general information on this feature, see intro(2POSIX) and the POSIX draft standard P1003.1g. However, POSIX_SOCKETS only provides support of the AF_INET domain. The AF_LOCAL domain support is provided by the AF_LOCAL feature.

For more details, see POSIX_SOCKETS(5FEA).

PPP

The PPP feature allows serial lines to be used as network interfaces using the Point-to-Point Protocol. This feature needs to be configured in order to fully support the ADMIN_PPP feature as well as the various PPP related commands provided by the Sun Embedded Workshop system.

For more details, seePPP(5FEA).

AF_LOCAL

The AF_LOCAL feature provides support for the AF_LOCAL domain for sockets. It requires and complements the POSIX_SOCKETS feature which provides the AF_INET domain independently.

For more details, see AF_LOCAL(5FEA).
