BONNER LAB RUNOFF on RSX. I think I've even made it available with a few
fixes I did for it. Should be at ftp.update.uu.se, and also at MIM::DU:[RNO]

Argh. For anyone who have downloaded the release I cut yesterday -
please get the new version (that goes for everyone else as well).
I just discovered and fixed an obscure bug that can crash the
system. It's something that happens under very specific
circumstances, and is uncommon, but if you have lots of TCP
connections coming and going, you'll hit it sooner or later.
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

Well, about two weeks since my last announcement, but 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:
Documentation:
. I've worked some on the documentation, and filled out some
parts that
were previously TBD.
TCP:
. Performance improvements. In general, I've improved file transfer
performance by about 20% by tuning when TCP ACK messages as well as
window updates are sent. On links where packets are dropped from
time to
time, the performance improvements can be significantly higher.
. Bugfix. Retry counter were incorrectly reset under some
circumstances.
. Bugfix. TCP did not resend an ACK if the same data was
received twice.
. Bugfix. TCP sockets could erronously be left in a closed state
with
no task. However, looking at the socket, it looked like a
task was
associated.
FTP:
. Size calculation for stream type files in RSX mode was done
incorrectly.
Applications:
. I've included a precompiled version of PCL.TSK
As usual, the distribution is available from:
