Request for comments on a thesis about Linux vs. IRIX, Solaris, AIX, HP-UX, and Tru64 UNIX.
Hi! I'm looking for some help on reviewing my thesis about comparing the kernel functions/features in Linux, HP-UX, Solaris, IRIX, AIX, and Tru64 UNIX. I would appreciate if you also could point out some other features that I should add to my list (in the tables, on page 25-28 on the postscript file) and point me to the right documentation that mentions that feature. My thesis is available on: http://www.student.hig.se/~na98csa/linux/ or in postscrip format: http://www.student.hig.se/~na98csa/linux/xjobb.ps Could you please reply to this message through e-mail ([EMAIL PROTECTED]), please.

Update of Request for comments on: Linux vs. Solaris, AIX, HP-UX, IRIX, and Tru64 UNIX.
There's a new update of the above thesis on the link: http://www.student.hig.se/~na98csa/linux/ and a postscript file at: http://www.student.hig.se/~na98csa/linux/xjobb.ps I would appreciate help on filling in the empty spaces on Linux and IRIX. Do also please provide a reference to where the feature is mentioned (for example a HOWTO, FAQ, book, article, or url... because a thesis reuires it). Regards, Cesar da Silva _ Do You Yahoo!?

Please help me fill in the blanks.
Hi again.
I am doing a thesis about comparing the Linux kernel
against HP-UX, AIX, Tru64 UNIX, and Solaris (as you
probably alredy know).
I'm stuck now (and the thesis has to bee ready until
tomorow) with some few features that the other
operating system have, and I can't find any
information about it, if those features are
implemented in Linux or not.
The features that I'm wondering about are:
* Dynamic Processor Resilience
* Dynamic Memory Resilience
* Dynamic Page Sizing
* Live Upgrade
* Alternative I/O Pathing
* HSM
* TCP selective acknowledgement (SACK)
* Service Location Protocol (SLP)
* ATM IP switching
* SOCKS 5 support
* Multilink PPP
* TCP/IP Gratuitous ARP (RFC 2002)
* Path MTU Discovery (RFC 1191)
* Path MTU Discovery over UDP
* IP Multipath Routing
The questions I have about the features above are:
* Are any of the above features implemented in the
kernel? If yes, where can I read (url-link to the
article, paper... please) about it?
* Is any of the features implemented through a program
/daemon? If yes, which program (link to program)?
Here is the link to my thesis if anyone hasn't got my
previous message:

Thanks in advance,
Cesar da Silva

Thank you Jeff for your very helpfull answer. --- Jeff Garzik <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> skrev: > Cesar Da Silva wrote: > > * Alternative I/O Pathing > > be less vague What I mean with the above (my defenition) is: [Alternative I/O Pathing allows the operating system to re-route the I/O of devices, such as disk or network adapters, to a backup device, in case of failure.
