HARP | Host ATM Research Platform
===================================
HARP 3
What is this stuff?
-------------------
The Advanced Networking Group (ANG) at the Minnesota Supercomputer Center,
Inc. (MSCI), as part of its work on the MAGIC Gigabit Testbed, developed
the Host ATM Research Platform (HARP) software, which allows IP hosts to
communicate over ATM networks using standard protocols. It is intended to
be a high-quality platform for IP/ATM research.
HARP provides a way for IP hosts to connect to ATM networks. It supports
standard methods of communication using IP over ATM. A host's standard IP
software sends and receives datagrams via a HARP ATM interface. HARP provides
functionality similar to (and typically replaces) vendor-provided ATM device
driver software.
HARP includes full source code, making it possible for researchers to
experiment with different approaches to running IP over ATM. HARP is
self-contained; it requires no other licenses or commercial software packages.
HARP implements support for the IETF Classical IP model for using IP over ATM
networks, including:
o IETF ATMARP address resolution client
o IETF ATMARP address resolution server
o IETF SCSP/ATMARP server
o UNI 3.1 and 3.0 signalling protocols
o Fore Systems's SPANS signalling protocol

a different file than the a.out hints, namely, "/var/run/ld-elf.so.hints".
These hints consist only of the directory search path. There is
no hash table as in the a.out hints, because ELF doesn't have to
search for the file with the highest minor version number. (It
doesn't have minor version numbers at all.)
A single run of ldconfig updates either the a.out hints or the ELF
hints, but not both. The set of hints to process is selected in
the usual way, via /etc/objformat, or ${OBJFORMAT}, or the "-aout"
or "-elf" command line option. The rationale is that you probably
want to search different directories for ELF than for a.out.
"ldconfig -r" is faked up to produce output like we are used to,
except that for ELF there are no minor version numbers. This should
enable "ldconfig -r" to be used for checking LIB_DEPENDS in ports
even for ELF.
I implemented the ELF functionality in a new source file, with an
eye toward eliminating the a.out code entirely at some point in
the future.

Any packet that can be matched by a ipfw rule can be redirected
transparently to another port or machine. Redirection to another port
mostly makes sense with tcp, where a session can be set up
between a proxy and an unsuspecting client. Redirection to another machine
requires that the other machine also be expecting to receive the forwarded
packets, as their headers will not have been modified.

is true with the default block size and MSS).
Turning on TCP_NODELAY disables the Nagle algorithm and sender SWS avoidance.

that is aligned.
When checking the returned data, be careful to avoid confusing the
size of the icmp header with the size of a timeval. On i386 these
are both 8, but on alpha, a timeval is 16 bytes. This means that
a packet sent from an alpha contains 48 bytes of data, not 56 like
on i386.
umount() was trying to stat() the mountpoint, this would fail if the
mountpoint was a NFS mountpoint, and the fallback code would try and pass
a hostname:/dir path as the mountpoint to unmount(2), which would fail.
This whole stat() of the name supplied on the command line business is
trouble as it'll wedge on a hung NFS mount.
I'm not entirely sure why we are not simply looking up both arguments
in the mount table and doing the right thing without accessing the
filesystem. It seems that we're going to a lot of trouble to allow
mountpoints on symlinks and other wierd things.
