TDP supports two modes of communications: one directly over Ethernet, and one over IP. The straight to Ethernet L4 layer is faster and more dynamic than the IP layer, but it isn't possible to route TDP packets out of a single layer-2 domain. By using TDP over IP, you can connect to any remote machine over the Internet as follows:
(e.g. setconf _CS_RESOLVE lookup_file_bind)
For more information on name resolution, see the "Name servers" section in TCP/IP Networking.
io-pkt-v4-hc -di82544 -pqnet bind=ip,resolve=dns
or:
mount -Tio-pkt -o bind-ip,resolve=dns full_path_to_dll/lsm-qnet.so
With raw Ethernet transport, names automatically appear in the /net directory. This doesn't happen with TDP over IP; as you perform TDP operations (e.g. ls /net/host1), the entries are created as required.
