Core Networknig 6.4.0: Project overview#

The Networking project manages the development of protocols, protocol stacks and reference drivers that are part of the QNX® Neutrino® Realtime Operating System. The project includes a newly developed IP stack (part of Core Networking 6.4.0), associated utilities and applications. As compared to the currently shipping version of the stack (io-net), this stack (io-pkt) provides:

• Better adherence to the netBSD architecture / code base (currently netBSD 4.0)
  • Eases porting of newer stack releases / features
  • Similar driver model / API allows easy porting (using a porting library) of existing netBSD drivers to io-pkt
• 802.11 framework for full wifi support
  • Adhoc
  • Infrastructure client
  • Infrastructure access point (where hardware allows)
• Faster receive performance due to an optimised threading model
