From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: clemc@ccc.com (Clem Cole) Date: Wed, 26 Nov 2014 15:03:27 -0500 Subject: [TUHS] BerkNet In-Reply-To: References: <14353.1416983329@cesium.clock.org> Message-ID: BBN did a second release that used the sockets. At Stellar we used that stack, not the UCB stack, since we were taking System V and adding BSD to it. Since the author of the BBN stack (Rob Gurwitz) was with us, it was felt that the BBN stack was actually better in many ways. In particular, we had a parallel machine and it was felt that the BBN stack would be easier/cleaner to multi-thread. I can ask around, I lost track of the code base after Stellar. tjt might still know.
