Shared-memory Network Driver  
Is there a shared-memory network driver for Neutrino?  I have multiple processors that may communicate via Ethernet or 
via shared-memory so I'd like to write the communication module using the BSD sockets API.
RE: Shared-memory Network Driver  
Hi Gary:

	There's nothing that I know of available for this.  How is the
memory shared?  You'll probably need to be able to generate the equivalent
of a "receive interrupt" from one CPU to the other to get a reasonable devn-
style driver implemented.

	Robert.

Memory is shared through PCIe mapping.  Interrupts can be generated from one CPU to the other.
