ChorusOS 5.0 System Administrator's Guide

IPC Feature Configuration

The ChorusOS IPC feature is an optional component of the ChorusOS microkernel that can be added in two different configurations:

  1. Local IPC. This configuration provides only local IPC communications.

  2. Local IPC + remote IPC. This configuration enables local and remote IPC communications to take place over a network data-link such as Ethernet or ATM (Asynchronous Transfer Method). This data-link is also called an external data-link, which means that the data-link driver is implemented within an independent driver outside of the microkernel.

The comand-line configuration tool configurator(1CC) is used to set up each configuration.

To configure the local IPC feature:


% configurator -set IPC=true

To configure the local IPC + remote IPC feature:


% configurator -set IPC_REMOTE=true
