From 1da177e4c3f41524e886b7f1b8a0c1fc7321cac2 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Linus Torvalds Date: Sat, 16 Apr 2005 15:20:36 -0700 Subject: Linux-2.6.12-rc2 Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it.

Sometimes it is + useful to give an IPX "network" address to your Linux box as well + (for example if your box is acting as a file server for different + IPX networks: it will then be accessible from everywhere using the + same address). The way this is done is to create a virtual internal + "network" inside your box and to assign an IPX address to this + network.

This is done by + evaluating the field sipx_node of the socket address given to the + bind call. So applications should always initialize the node field + to 0 when binding a socket on the primary network. In this case the + socket is assigned the default node that has been given to the + kernel when the internal network was created. By enabling the full + internal IPX network the cross-forwarding of packets targeted at + 'special' sockets to sockets listening on the primary network is + disabled.
