Solaris OS Networking - The Magic Revealed

Overview The networking stack of the Solaris 1.x Operating System was a BSD variant and was pretty similar to the BSD Reno implementation. With the Solaris 2.x OS, the networking stack went through a makeover and transitioned from a BSD-style stack to a STREAMS-based stack. The late 1990s saw the explosion of the World Wide Web. With the Solaris 10 platform, the networking stack went through one more transition where the core pieces (for example, socket layer, TCP, UPD, IP, and device driver) used an IP Classifier and serialization queue to improve the connection setup time, scalability, and packet processing cost. This paper discusses the networking advancements in the Solaris 10 OS, as well as the evolution of networking in previous releases.
