Networking facilities

Networking facilities

UnixWare 7 includes a number of networking facilities that give the administrator flexibility in building a network. Several facilities relieve the application of the need to know the underlying characteristics of the network. Thus, the application can run on different networks and still present a consistent interface to the user.

Two distinct styles of network service provision are supported. One is the Berkeley style, implemented as ``r-commands'' (such as rlogin(1tcp)). The other style is the new Networking Applications Architecture (NAA), which is depicted in ``A Diagram of the Networking Applications Architecture''. Its features are described below:
