For the limited value that OSI protocols have today, it is a much better use of resources to simply integrate the protocol stack into the application. IIRC, IS-IS runs directly on top of CLNP, so all of the ISO-TP and TCP-over-CLNP stuff is irrelevant to it. We chose a long time ago to drop support for OSI protocols because the network stack was evolving significantly and nobody wanted to carry that deadweight around. -GAWollman To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-net" in the body of the message
