What's New

This is an OpenSS7 Project modified release of the GPL Dialogic(R) OSR 6.1 Release 239 drivers modified for use with Linux Fast-STREAMS.

The Dialogic Open Systems Release 6.1 package includes kernel modules, SVR 4.2 STREAMS drivers, modules, libraries, utilities, test programs, daemons, and development environment for the development and execution of Dialogic Open Systems Release 6.1 components and applications for the SVR 4.2 STREAMS environment. It provides true STREAMS-based Dialogic(R) OSR 6.1 drivers for Linux. This is the second release from The OpenSS7 Project of the Dialogic Open Systems Release 6.1 package and is now part of the OpenSS7 Master Package (openss7-0.9.2.F). This package provides dlgn, mercd and pmacd device drivers, as well as a dvbm and sctmr module. Additional drivers are the gncfd and gpio modules. The package contains all the necessary manual pages and other documentation for components in an autoconf tarball.

This release is the second public release.

Major features are as follows:

• Dramatic performance improvements enabled by Linux Fast-STREAMS.
• Support build on openSUSE 10.2.
• Support build on Fedora 7 with 2.6.21 kernel.
• Support build on CentOS 5.0 (RHEL5).
• Support build on Ubuntu 7.04.
• Changes to support build on 2.6.20-1.2307.fc5 and 2.6.20-1.2933.fc6 kernel.
• Supports build on Fedora Core 6.
• Support for recent distributions and tool chains.

This is another public alpha release of the package. Please see README-alpha in the release, or Maturity, in the manual.

As with other OpenSS7 releases, this release configures, compiles, installs and builds RPMs and DEBs for a wide range of Linux 2.4 and 2.6 RPM- and DPKG-based distributions, and can be used on production kernels without patching or recompiling the kernel.

This package is publicly released under the GNU Public License Version 2. The release is available as an autoconf tarball, SRPM, DSC, and set of binary RPMs and DEBs. See the downloads page for the autoconf tarballs, SRPMs and DSCs. See the osr61 package page for tarballs, SRPMs, DSCs, and binary RPMs and DEBs.

See ChangeLog and NEWS in the release for more information. Also, see the osr61.pdf manual in the release (also in html here).

The OpenSS7 Master Package package contains:

• sctp-0.2.26 (Linux Native Sockets SCTP),
• iperf-2.0.7 (Internet Performance),
• streams-0.9.2.3 (Linux Fast-STREAMS),
• strcompat-0.9.2.6 (STREAMS Compatibility Modules),
• strutil-0.9.2.6 (STREAMS Utilities),

• osr61-0.9.2.2 (Dialogic Open System Release 6.1) and
• LiS-2.18.6 (Linux STREAMS).

If you need to build an install a significant number of these packages, the OpenSS7 Master Package package is the easiest way to do so.

This is the fifth public release of the OpenSS7 Master Package. See README in the release for a sub-package listing. Most of the sub-packages in the release are production grade for Linux Fast-STREAMS. All existing validation test suites run clean on supported distributions and architectures.

The OpenSS7 Master Package is not released as often as the sub-packages. As sub-packages are released more often, to rebuild the master package with a new sub-package release, simply replace the directory to which the sub-package belongs with the unpacked sub-package release and then rebuild the master package. This release provides support for recent distributions and tool chains.

Major features since the last public release are as follows:

• Staggering performance improvements. Corrections and performance tuning of the Linux Fast-STREAMS package has had performance improvements across the board in the subpackages. Linux Fast-STREAMS and its subpackages now run up to 6 times faster than before. Linux Fast-STREAMS is now running 25 times faster than the deprecated (and darn slow) LiS. See the STREAMS, UDP, TCP and SCTP performance pages for more information on this performance breakthrough.
• Support build on openSUSE 10.2.
• Support build on Fedora 7 and 2.6.21 kernel.
• Support build on CentOS 5.0 (RHEL5).
• Support build on Ubuntu 7.04.
• Updated to gettext 0.16.1.
• Changes to support build on 2.6.20-1.2307.fc5 and 2.6.20-1.2933.fc6 kernel.
• Supports build on Fedora Core 6.
• Support for recent distributions and tool chains.

This is a public stable production grade release of the package: it deprecates previous releases. Please upgrade to the current release before reporting bugs.

As with other OpenSS7 releases, this release configures, compiles, installs and builds RPMs and DEBs for a wide range of Linux 2.4 and 2.6 RPM- and DPKG-based distributions, and can be used on production kernels without patching or recompiling the kernel.

This package is publicly released under the GNU Public License Version 2. The release is available as an autoconf tarball, SRPM, DSC, and set of binary RPMs and DEBs. See the downloads page for the autoconf tarballs, SRPMs and DSCs. See the openss7 package page for tarballs, SRPMs, DSCs, and binary RPMs and DEBs.

This is the twelfth OpenSS7 Project release of Linux Fast-STREAMS. LiS was fully deprecated as of a previous release and Linux Fast-STREAMS is now the only STREAMS package contained in the OpenSS7 Master Package (since openss7-0.9.2.D).

This release is a stable, production grade release for Linux Fast-STREAMS. The release includes maintenance support for recent distributions and tool chain, but also includes some performance and feature upgrades and inspection bug fixes.

Major features since the last public release are as follows:

• Significant performance improvements. STREAMS-based pipes in the package now perform a staggering 2 to 5 times (%200 to %500) faster than the old legacy 4.1BSD/SVR3 Linux pipes currently in the kernel. See the STREAMS Performance page for more information.
• The impact of these performance changes is that Linux Fast-STREAMS now runs faster and looser on SMP systems: if your drivers have race conditions they will likely be exacerbated by this version.
• Significant rework of the Stream head and both enabling and back-enabling utilities. Handling of enabling flags QWANTR and QWANTW were not being performed quite properly. Also, service procedures for the read side stream head read queue was added to defer wake-ups when possible. The result is the very significant observed performance improvements (as though it was not fast enough already).
• The strace(8), strerr(8) utilities and log(4) driver have had some corrections. The STREAMS trace logger is now an excellent way for trace logging of fielded production drivers. A number of OpenSS7 drivers have already been converted to use this facility.
• Significant rework of STREAMS synchronization. OSF/1 Mentat style synchronization levels, Solaris style perimeters, and SVR 4.2 style load refusal are fully supported. Some idiosyncrasies of AIX, HP-UX, MacOT and VxWorks are also supported.
• Corrected a few bugs. See BUGS in the release for more information.
• Support build on openSUSE 10.2.
• Support build on Fedora 7 and 2.6.21 kernel.
• Support build on CentOS 5.0 (RHEL5).
• Support build on Ubuntu 7.04.
• Updated to gettext 0.16.1.
• Changes to support build on 2.6.20-1.2307.fc5 and 2.6.20-1.2933.fc6 kernel.
• Supports build on Fedora Core 6.
• Support for recent distributions and tool chains.

GNU/Linux glibc provides (among other things) the RPC interface library and the TS-RPC and BSD 4.3 sockets address translation facilities in libc, and provides NIS capabilities in libnsl. STREAMS related components that are not currently part of the Linux Network Services Library (libnsl) are:

1. Network Selection, consisting of:
• Network Configuration database access, netconfig(3), and,
• Network Path access, netpath(3).
2. Name-to-Address Translation, netdir(3).

These are often referred to as the Network Selection facility of the Network Services Library. The OpenSS7 STREAMS Network Services Library package provides a library, renamed libxnsl, that provides the missing Network Selection and Name-to-Address mapping facilities designed to work with xti(3).

The OpenSS7 STREAMS Network Services Library package contains header files and the associated documentation that were originally contained in the strxnet package. This library was quickly removed from the strxnet distribution and placed in its own add-on package.

This is the third separate release from The OpenSS7 Project of the OpenSS7 STREAMS Network Services Library package. This package provides the libxnsl library providing the Network Selection Facility for the Network Services Library. The package contains all the necessary manual pages and other documentation.

As with other OpenSS7 releases, this release configures, compiles, installs and builds RPMs and DEBs for a wide range of Linux 2.4 and 2.6 RPM- and DPKG-based distributions, and can be used on production kernels without patching or recompiling the kernel.

This package is publicly released under the GNU Public License Version 2. The release is available as an autoconf tarball, SRPM, DSC, and set of binary RPMs and DEBs. See the downloads page for the autoconf tarballs, SRPMs and DSCs. See the strsctp package page for tarballs, SRPMs, DSCs, and binary RPMs and DEBs.

See ChangeLog and NEWS in the release for more information. Also, see the strsctp.pdf manual in the release (also in html here).

Included are hardware device drivers and pseudo-device drivers that provide implementations of specific channels. A pseudo-device driver is planned to link into the Linux OSS (Open Sound System) and ALS (Advanced Linux Sound). Specific E1/T1 cards such as the V401P are supported by this package.

This package also supports data channel protocols for data communication over isochronous channels such as HDLC and SS7 DAEDR/DAEDT/AERM/SUERM. Upper layer link protocols, such as LAPB, LAPF, LAPM and LLC are supported by separate packages. These modules are provided here because they work directly over an isochronous channel and are therefore designed to work with them. These data links provide support for the OpenSS7 STREAMS ISO/OSI as well as the OpenSS7 STREAMS ISDN Stacks and OpenSS7 STREAMS SS7 Stack packages.

Note that no component in this package can be supported by LiS: LiS is simply too slow to allow these drivers to achieve any degree of efficiency necessary for proper operation.

This is the third separate release from The OpenSS7 Project of the OpenSS7 STREAMS Channels package. The package provides components that were previously part of the strss7 package. This package contains all the necessary manual pages and other documentation. The package is packaged as an OpenSS7 style autoconf tarball.

This is the third pre-alpha release for Linux Fast-STREAMS and is an optional part of the OpenSS7 Master Package (as of openss7-0.9.2.D).

This release is a maintenance release providing support for recent distributions and tool chains.

This is the second public pre-alpha release of the package. Please see README-alpha in the release or Maturity, in the manual.

The OpenSS7 NETPERF Utility package provide primarily the netperf(1) and netserver(8), C Language programs that act as Netperf client or server for testing connections and networking. The netserver(8) program is executed on one host acting as a server, and then netperf(1) is executed on another (or the same) host acting in client mode. Characteristics of the connection or association can be altered when formed. Reporting formats and sample intervals can also be altered when the connection or association is formed. Users executing netperf(1) do not need to have shell access to the netserver(8) host.

This is a fork of the Netperf package released by Hewlett-Packard modified by the OpenSS7 Project for use with OpenSS7 STREAMS XNS, XTI/TLI, INET and SCTP packages. This OpenSS7 release of the package is based on the Netperf-2.3 release from Hewlett-Packard.

Modifications to the package are derived from the OpenSS7 STREAMS XNS, XTI/TLI, INET and SCTP implementations and are release under the GNU General Public License (GPL) Version 2. The Netperf tool itself is licensed under specific terms by Hewlett-Packard. Please see file LICENSES in the release for the Hewlett-Packard Netperf copyright notices and licensing restrictions. This is the sixth full release of the OpenSS7 NETPERF Utility package. This release is a stable, production grade release for Linux Fast-STREAMS and is part of the OpenSS7 Master Package (openss7-0.9.2.F).

Note: The original LiS package from GCOM is no longer actively maintained by either GCOM or the OpenSS7 Project: use the OpenSS7 Linux Fast-STREAMS package instead.

The following are claims made by its authors and original maintainer:

The OpenSS7 Modified Linux STREAMS (LiS) package is as STREAMS framework that is compatible with SVR 4 STREAMS. It has lots of debugging features not found in other STREAMS packages. Good to do networking and other things. It allows for installation of binary drivers.

Linux STREAMS (LiS) aims to provide SVR 4 compatible STREAMS implementation for Linux and claims to have special debugging facilities; however, the package suffers from the major failings that it is:

• no longer maintained;
• full of bugs;
• incompatible with POSIX;
• implements SVR 4 STREAMS rather than the more popular SVR 4.2 MP/ES STREAMS;
• portions dubiously licensed under the LGPL;
• unsuitable for mainline adoption;
• adapts poorly to production kernels;
• many SMP races and lockups;
• broken 32-bit over 64-bit compatibility;
• no strlog(9) STREAMS logger;

This is an internal release of LiS. It is only available for download by subscribers and sponsors of the OpenSS7 Project. There are too many packages that cannot build against LiS due to its implementation deficiencies.

Do not use this release (even if you are a subscriber or sponsor). Port to Linux Fast-STREAMS. Do not report bugs on this release. The OpenSS7 Project no longer actively maintains LiS.

Major changes for release LiS-2.18.6:

• Performance of LiS has now been shown to be dismally poor: Linux Fast-STREAMS is running 25 times faster in 1/10th the footprint.
• Support build on openSUSE 10.2.
• Support build on Fedora 7 with 2.6.21 kernel.
• Support build on CentOS 5.0 (RHEL5).
• Support build on Ubuntu 7.04.
• Updated to gettext 0.16.1.
• Changes to support build on 2.6.20-1.2307.fc5 and 2.6.20-1.2933.fc6 kernel.
• Supports build on Fedora Core 6.
• Support for recent distributions and tool chains.

This is an unstable internal alpha release of the package. Please see README-alpha in the release for more information. Do not report bugs on this package.

A large number of additional tests cases were found to fail on x86_64 and SMP architectures making the LiS packages largely unusable, especially on 64-bit or SMP kernels.

Deprecated and unmaintained. Download the latest streams package version instead.

As with other OpenSS7 releases, this release configures, compiles, installs and builds RPMs and DEBs for a wide range of Linux 2.4 and 2.6 RPM- and DPKG-based distributions, and can be used on production kernels without patching or recompiling the kernel.

This package is publicly released under the GNU Public License Version 2. The release is available as an autoconf tarball, SRPM, DSC, and set of binary RPMs and DEBs.

See the downloads page for the autoconf tarballs, SRPMs and DSCs. See the osr61 package page for tarballs, SRPMs, DSCs, and binary RPMs and DEBs.

See ChangeLog and NEWS in the release for more information. Also, see the osr61.pdf manual in the release (also in html here).

The OpenSS7 Master Package package contains:

• sctp-0.2.25 (Linux Native Sockets SCTP),
• iperf-2.0.6 (Internet Performance),
• streams-0.9.2.2 (Linux Fast-STREAMS),
• strcompat-0.9.2.5 (STREAMS Compatibility Modules),
• strutil-0.9.2.5 (STREAMS Utilities),
• strbcm-0.9.2.3 (STREAMS Binary Compatibility Module),
• strtty-0.9.2.2 (STREAMS Terminals),
• strxns-0.9.2.5 (STREAMS X/Open Networking Services),
• strxnet-0.9.2.10 (STREAMS X/Open Networking),
• strsock-0.9.2.2 (STREAMS Sockets),
• strinet-0.9.2.5 (STREAMS Internet),
• strsctp-0.9.2.7 (STREAMS SCTP),
• striso-0.9.2.2 (STREAMS Open Systems Interconnect),
• netperf-2.3.5 (Network Performance),
• strchan-0.9.2.2 (STREAMS Channels),
• strisdn-0.9.2.2 (STREAMS ISDN Stack),
• strss7-0.9a.6 (STREAMS SS7 Stacks),
• sigtran-0.9.2.2 (STREAMS SIGTRAN Stack),
• strvoip-0.9.2.2 (STREAMS VoIP Stacks),
• osr61-0.9.2.1 (Dialogic Open System Release 6.1) and
• LiS-2.18.5 (Linux STREAMS).

If you need to build an install a significant number of these packages, the OpenSS7 Master Package package is the easiest way to do so.

This is the fourth public release of the OpenSS7 Master Package. See README in the release for a sub-package listing. Most of the sub-packages in the release are production grade for Linux Fast-STREAMS. All existing validation test suites run clean on supported distributions and architectures.

It is unlikely that the OpenSS7 Master Package will be released as frequently as before. Sub-packages will be released more often. To rebuild the master package with a new sub-package release, simply replace the directory to which the sub-package belongs with the unpacked sub-package release and then rebuild the master package. This release provides support for recent distributions and tool chains.

Major features since the last public release are as follows:

• Addition of the osr61 sub-package that contains Dialogic Open System Release 6.1 version 239 GPL drivers.
• A few minor corrections to the common build process.
• Support for autoconf 2.61 and gettext 0.16.
• Support for Ubuntu 6.10 distribution and bug fixes for i386 kernels.
• The package now looks for subpackages with a version number as unpacked by separate tarball.

This is a public stable production grade release of the package: it deprecates previous releases. Please upgrade to the current release before reporting bugs.

This is the eleventh OpenSS7 Project release of Linux Fast-STREAMS. LiS was fully deprecated as of the previous release and Linux Fast-STREAMS is now the only STREAMS package contained in the OpenSS7 Master Package (since openss7-0.9.2.D).

This release is a stable, production grade release for Linux Fast-STREAMS. The release is primarily a maintenance release to support recent distributions and tool chain.

Major features since the last public release are as follows:

• Fix for clone open failure locking problems, demand loading of clone minors, an error in clone minor device deregistration, and an error in queue syncrhornization. See BUGS in the release for more information.
• Added feature to perform automatic reference counting of modules for the esballoc(9) free routines on Linux 2.6 kernels. See new esballoc(9).
• Added versions to all exported symbols. Made LFS unique functions GPL export.
• Improvements to the common build environment with better support for standalone package builds on 2.4 kernels.
• Support for autoconf 2.61, automake 1.10 and gettext 0.16.
• Support for Ubuntu 6.10 distribution and bug fixes for i386 kernels.
