[HECnet] Announcing TCP/IP for RSX-11M-PLUS

Well, about two months since my last announcement, and some improvements have been done, so I figured I should do another one. I've cut a new release of TCP/IP for RSX, and I encourage everyone to update to this latest release. A short list of changes since my last release: TCP: . Performance improvements. TCP timers have been redesigned for better performance. This gave FTP a performance increase of about 15$. . TCP negative ACK detection has been improved. , TCP receive packet handling have been redesigned for better performance, and better code structure. . Added guards against data received after FIN. . Bugfix in SPOOF hostname printouts when filter was cleared. . Bugfix in tcp timers that could cause a close to take a very long time to clean up. FTP: . Bugfix in user verification code which could cause program to crash. This affected ftpd. . Changed ftp and ftpd to create files without max record length when dealing with binary files. TELNET: . Added exit handler to telnetd, so that telnetd cannot be aborted while active sessions exist. HTTPD: . Improved webserver handling of binary files. As usual, the distribution is available from: ftp://mim.update.uu.se/bqtcp.dsk ftp://mim.update.uu.se/bqtcp.tap ftp://ftp.update.uu.se/pub/pdp11/rsx/tcpip/tcpip.dsk The documentation is also available through ftp on Mim, or also at http://mim.update.uu.se/tcpipdoc Note! I've realized that BQTCP/IP do not work right if you have a PDP-11/74 with multiple processors online. I'll fix that at some point, as it's probably just a case of affinity not being set on devices, nor relevant processes. This might only be a problem with telnet in fact. I know for sure that the IP and TCP drivers works ok in multiprocessor systems.
