From the IL Wikipedia page:

 

    As of the Fourth Edition of Plan = 9, 2003, IL is deprecated in favor of TCP/IP because it doesn't handle long= -distance connections well.

 

Does anybody still use IL?  It sounds like an i= nteresting protocol and I’m wondering if anybody has or is still usin= g it for either local network or internet usage.  And, given It’= s depreciation status, is it still available for use if one does want to use it?
