Hello All,
Could you please help me? I need to force L4Linux to use Flips’ TCP/IP stack instead of internal Linux’s TCP/IP implementation. Is it possible to do with minor effort?
Thank you. Best Regards, Alexander Valitov

No, at least it isn't just a configure issue. You need some kind of in- L4Linux-kernel TCP/IP stub talking to Flips via IPC. This stub is at least missing. Well, we have a library that provides a POSIX socket interface (talking via IPC to Flips) designed for L4 user applications. Probably such a kernel stub can reuse it. However some engineering effort in L4Linux would be required ...

I guess mentioned library is not part of FLIPS package as I can't see corresponding header file in "./l4/pkg/flips/include/". Could you please tell me where is this library in the SVN repository? Are there any particular examples that demonstrate how to use the library?

l4/pkg/flips/examples/mini_http is a simple example using the POSIX socket functions. In the Makefile you can see all libs that are required. The used libraries in the Makefile are indeed not part of FLIPS, they are part of l4/pkg/l4vfs.
Hope that helps,
