Hi,
I have a question for some time - why not use flips as a simple gateway? Maybe it is better than configing the nic to promiscuous mode?
I have made a simple test, and it can work. I think another merit is that we may use the ipsec implentation of linux kernel with flips.
Regards,
Wei

is it possible to connect from an L4Linux process to a FLIPS-based L4 task using TCP/IP? And if so, how?
Sure. Both, L4Linux and your app need to be compiled without native hardware support. Instead, use a software network switch like the one provided by l4/pkg/ore. L4Linux needs to compiled with the ORe driver and your app needs to send/receive packets through ORe.
ORe also provides a minimal TCP stack in l4/pkg/ore/lib/uip. I don't know whether Christian Helmuth already finished to add ORe support to FLIPS - maybe he can give some info about this.
