Dear Adam, Thank You very much for the response. Do You mean that the l4shmnet can be used as a communication channel between two (or more ?) instances of l4linux over TCP/IP? By the way, how should then the start scripts seem? Would it be again like a client - server type interaction between both instances? For instance would it work with the following set up and would I see for example a ping request and response of each side? local my_channel = l:new_channel(); local linux_caps1 = { log = L4.Env.log:m("rws"); vbus = io_caps.linux_bus1, rtc = rtc_caps.rtc, rom = L4.Env.rom, myL4shm = my_channel:svr(), }; l:start( { caps = linux_caps1, }, "rom/vmlinuz1 mem=512M console=ttyLv0 l4shmnet.add=test_l4shm,macpart=01 ramdisk=rom/ramdisk1 root=1:0 ramdisk_size=5000 l4x_rd=rom/ramdisk1 init=/sbin/init"); local linux_caps2 = { log = L4.Env.log:m("r"); vbus = io_caps.linux_bus1, rtc = rtc_caps.rtc, rom = L4.Env.rom, myL4shm = my_channel, }; l:start( { caps = linux_caps2, }, "rom/vmlinuz2 mem=512M console=ttyLv0 l4shmnet.add=test_l4shm,macpart=02 ramdisk=rom/ramdisk2 root=1:0 ramdisk_size=5000 l4x_rd=rom/ramdisk2 init=/sbin/init"); Many thanks in advance, Regards, On Thu Feb 06, 2014 at 17:44:58 +0100, Ajith Whowe wrote: * Yes, basically a software network switch with an (optional) network driver. * No, l4shmnet is only between two partners. The driver is there but disabled because it's not working.
