strinet-0.9.2.2 Released

[Brian F. G. Bidulock]

strinet-0.9.2.2 was released January 4, 2006.

This OpenSS7 Project release of strinet is another separate
release of the OpenSS7 STREAMS INET driver that was formerly
present in the Linux STREAMS package. The networking driver
(streams-inet) is provided, as well as the TPI and XTI header
files for INET operation. The package contains all the
necessary manual pages and other documentation for INET
components in a separate autoconf tarball.

This release is available as a tarball. See the downloads page
http://www.openss7.org/download.html for the autoconf tarball.
See the package page http://www.openss7.org/strinet_pkg.html for
SRPM and RPM releases.

These components were formerly only contained in the Linux
STREAMS releases, however, this tarball configures, builds and
installs them separately in case you wish to use these
components separate from our Linux STREAMS releases (e.g. with
Linux Fast-STREAMS).

This release configures, builds, installs and verifies (with the
included test suite) also against Linux Fast-STREAMS. Use of
the 'netperf' package http://www.openss7.org/netperf_pkg.html
for XTI/TLI UDP testing of the strinet driver shows in initial
performance testing that the driver running under Linux
Fast-STREAMS exhibits far less latency and far superior
performance to that of LiS.

See the ChangeLog and NEWS in the release for more information.
