Hi Lou,
I'm discussing datagram networking with Jacob Barrett currently. They
have some people working on it.
The idea is to provide 1 byte of address space, using a per-host
hostmask, just like TCP/IP uses per-net netmasks. A host with address
0x10 and hostmask 0xf0 would offer 16 ports, for example. Thus, we could
get by with this:
ID TO FROM LENGTH ..... CHECKSUM(16 or 8 bit? probably 16)
Tasks could register to receive messages from certain ports. But can
that replace suspend/resume? I think not.
