Overview
The previous generation of the QNX Neutrino networking stack ( io-net ) was designed based on a modular approach. It served
its purpose in the past by allowing users to separate protocols and drivers, but this came at the expense of incurring a significant
amount of overhead when converting to a particular protocol's domain from io-net and vice versa.
Compatibility between io-net and io-pkt
Both io-net and io-pkt can co-exist on the same system. The updated socket library provided with io-pkt is compatible with io-net. This lets you run both simultaneously.
Simultaneous support
You can run both io-net and io-pkt simultaneously on the same target if the relevant utilities and daemons for each stack are present.
Discontinued features
The io-pkt networking stack doesn't support the following features:
