HARP | Host ATM Research Platform
===================================
HARP 3
What is this stuff?
-------------------
The Advanced Networking Group (ANG) at the Minnesota Supercomputer Center,
Inc. (MSCI), as part of its work on the MAGIC Gigabit Testbed, developed
the Host ATM Research Platform (HARP) software, which allows IP hosts to
communicate over ATM networks using standard protocols. It is intended to
be a high-quality platform for IP/ATM research.
HARP provides a way for IP hosts to connect to ATM networks. It supports
standard methods of communication using IP over ATM. A host's standard IP
software sends and receives datagrams via a HARP ATM interface. HARP provides
functionality similar to (and typically replaces) vendor-provided ATM device
driver software.
HARP includes full source code, making it possible for researchers to
experiment with different approaches to running IP over ATM. HARP is
self-contained; it requires no other licenses or commercial software packages.
HARP implements support for the IETF Classical IP model for using IP over ATM
networks, including:
o IETF ATMARP address resolution client
o IETF ATMARP address resolution server
o IETF SCSP/ATMARP server
o UNI 3.1 and 3.0 signalling protocols
o Fore Systems's SPANS signalling protocol
What's supported
----------------
The following are supported by HARP 3:
o ATM Host Interfaces
- FORE Systems, Inc. SBA-200 and SBA-200E ATM SBus Adapters
- FORE Systems, Inc. PCA-200E ATM PCI Adapters
- Efficient Networks, Inc. ENI-155p ATM PCI Adapters
o ATM Signalling Protocols
- The ATM Forum UNI 3.1 signalling protocol
- The ATM Forum UNI 3.0 signalling protocol
- The ATM Forum ILMI address registration
- FORE Systems's proprietary SPANS signalling protocol
- Permanent Virtual Channels (PVCs)
o IETF "Classical IP and ARP over ATM" model
- RFC 1483, "Multiprotocol Encapsulation over ATM Adaptation Layer 5"
- RFC 1577, "Classical IP and ARP over ATM"
- RFC 1626, "Default IP MTU for use over ATM AAL5"
- RFC 1755, "ATM Signaling Support for IP over ATM"
- RFC 2225, "Classical IP and ARP over ATM"
- RFC 2334, "Server Cache Synchronization Protocol (SCSP)"
- Internet Draft draft-ietf-ion-scsp-atmarp-00.txt,
"A Distributed ATMARP Service Using SCSP"
o ATM Sockets interface
- The file atm-sockets.txt contains further information
What's not supported
--------------------
The following major features of the above list are not currently supported:
o UNI point-to-multipoint support
o Driver support for Traffic Control/Quality of Service
o SPANS multicast and MPP support
o SPANS signalling using Efficient adapters
This software was developed under the sponsorship of the Defense Advanced
Research Projects Agency (DARPA).

>decision is, I'll respect it.
Another chance to architect people's principles...I can hardly wait. Seems
quite appropriate for a Sunday - I just need to get one of those collection
plates (and money envelopes) so I can profit, too. :-)
Tcl stays in /usr/src for now, but it needs to be kept up to date; same
for perl. If Jordan doesn't have "setup" (written in tcl) ready for 3.0,
then tcl will be yanked prior to the 3.0 release (and made into a port).
As for the ports tree only supporting the last FreeBSD release, this seems
sensible to me. The "ports" have always been a moving target between releases
and the problem is only going to get worse when we expand to supporting other
processor architectures. In any case, Satoshi is and always has been in charge
of the ports tree and whatever he wants to do with it (within reason :-)) is
his decision.
Does this cover the issue completely? I admit to deleting messages in this
thread with unusual fervor (people have FAR too much time on their hands!).
There's a fair bit of reasoning behind the above, but since everyone is sick
of arguing about this, I'll spare you the analysis.

point to it rather than libscrypt.
This was how it was done prior to libscrypt being added in. This should
stop more people getting burnt with the /usr/lib -> /usr/lib/aout
transition, and the same when the ELF libs come online.
Changed MACHINE to MACHINE_ARCH with the expectation that pc98 will
use elf the same as i386.
Nuked tahoe and vax 'cause the files they reference aren't in the
tree. If you want vax goto NetBSD. If you want tahoe... tough.
stale obj directory and we wouldn't want to do that! I trust he knows
what he's talking about. 8-)
Also avoid building libm at all until the NetBSD asm code is imported.
I wrongly commented this out last time. Oops.
to another architecture (in this case the Alpha) we can continue to use
the host csu objects (from NetBSD). This should be a non-function change
to FreeBSD/i386.
the src/contrib/tcl directory existing, and also have an /etc/make.conf
override (NOTCL) to stop building libtcl. This is in similar other
things from src/Makefile, eg: NOGAMES, NOLKM, etc.
This is so that people can put in a refuse entry in their cvsup files and
not fetch the tcl code, and have it not built automatically. I'll do
something similar for perl.
- A major 11th hour, last second, untested commit!
Build some infrastructure to clean up the compat lib distributions, and
also allow them to be installed from the source tree rather than having
to to and get the tarballs from freefall or a CD. Some tweaks to
/etc/make.conf are in the pipeline to enable it.
This came about because it became apparent that we'd have to change the
compat21.tgz tarball to fix the NIS problem with 2.1.x binaries. Since
it's tar..gz.uu, doing this would have caused a huge repository change
and we may as well try and fix it once and for all. Now, adding/removing
libraries should have MUCH less repository impact.
