This document is intended to help developers who wish to port
an existing io-net network driver to be a "native"
io-pkt driver, to
obtain better throughput using fewer CPU resources.
In order to do this, you need to have at least
some familiarity with io-net network drivers.
Let's start with some terminology:
- io-net
- The framework and infrastructure for network
drivers and protocols used with QNX Neutrino prior to 6.4.
- io-pkt
- The framework and infrastructure for network
drivers and protocols developed for QNX Neutrino 6.4 to improve
performance and make it easier to port drivers and protocols from
current BSD source.
