Networking Implementation Notes
4.3BSD Edition .AU Samuel J. Leffler, William N. Joy, Robert S. Fabry, and Michael J. Karels .AI Computer Systems Research Group Computer Science Division Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science University of California, Berkeley Berkeley, CA 94720 .AB .FS * UNIX is a trademark of Bell Laboratories. .FE This report describes the internal structure of the networking facilities developed for the 4.3BSD version of the UNIX* operating system for the VAX\(dg. These facilities .FS \(dg DEC, VAX, DECnet, and UNIBUS are trademarks of Digital Equipment Corporation. .FE are based on several central abstractions which structure the external (user) view of network communication as well as the internal (system) implementation.
The report documents the internal structure of the networking system. The ``Berkeley Software Architecture Manual, 4.3BSD Edition'' (PS1:6) provides a description of the user interface to the networking facilities.
