Eichin) Newsgroups: comp.protocols.nfs,comp.unix.bsd Subject: Are there other ports of BSD "NFS over TCP"? Keywords: NFS TCP Message-ID: <EICHIN.92Jul1200613@tsx-11.mit.edu> Date: 2 Jul 92 00:06:20 GMT Sender: news@athena.mit.edu (News system) Organization: Massachusetts Institute of Technology Lines: 14 Nntp-Posting-Host: tsx-11.mit.edu Jolitz' 386BSD has a working implementation of NFS using TCP instead of UDP. (I believe this code was in 4.3net2 as well.) I've used it from one 386BSD machine to another; over a 19200bps SLIP line[*], I get about the same performance transfering large files as I do for ftp. Has anyone ported this code to other operating systems? I'm particularly interested in having the server side under SunOS, though I'd appreciate news of other ports as well. _Mark_ <eichin@athena.mit.edu> MIT Student Information Processing Board Cygnus Support <eichin@cygnus.com> [*] about 1550 bytes/second, roughly 80% if you remember that bytes are 10 bits on the wire.
