To: kernellist MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org X-Mailing-List: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org 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: http://www.student.hig.se/~na98csa/{ ,Linux.tex,xjobb.ps} Thanks in advance, Cesar da Silva _____________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
