Internet Protocol (IP) Transport

The SCTP product provides a Stream Control Transmission Protocol (SCTP) STREAMS multiplexing driver which provides SCTP protocol modules. In addition, this product is responsible for a Linux Native implementation of SCTP and STREAMS access to the Linux Native implementation.

OpenSS7 has two Stream Control Transmission Protocol (SCTP) drivers: one for the STREAMS stack which is written as a STREAMS driver; another native to the Linux kernel. OpenSS7 provides an INET package for STREAMS which provides a STREAMS Transport Provider Interface (TPI) to our Linux native kernel (sockets) implementation, as well as providing an SCTP STREAMS driver which provides Transport Provider Interface (TPI) and Network Provider Interface (NPI) under STREAMS.

The TCP product provides a Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) multiplexing driver that provides Transport Provider Interface (TPI) to the native Linux NET4 TCP implementation.

OpenSS7 provides the strinet package which has been included in LiS STREAMS which provides Transport Provider Interface (TPI) to the TCP sockets implementation native to Linux.

The UDP product provides a User Datagram Protocol (UDP) multiplexing driver which will provide Transport Provider Interface (TPI) to the native Linux NET4 TCP implementation.

OpenSS7 provides the strinet package which has been included in STREAMS which provides Transport Provider Interface (TPI) to the UDP sockets implementation native to Linux.

The SSCOP-MCE product provides a Service-Specific Connection Oriented Protoocl for Multi-Cast Environments (SSCOP-MCE) multiplexing driver which will provide Transport Provider Interface (TPI) and SSCOP-MCE protocol modules.

OpenSS7 has also done some work of implementing a STREAMS version of SSCOP-MCE to round out the IP transport services of OpenSS7.

The IP product provides a Internet Protocol (IP) multiplexing driver which provides Transport Provider Interface (TPI) to the native Linux NET4 IP implementation.
