Netbind Source Code Release for IXP 1200 Network Processor based Routers
by Michael Kounavis 19 Mar '02

19 Mar '02

NetBind is a binding tool that supports the dynamic creation of component based data paths and virtual routers in network processor-based routers. Source code is available from: http://comet.columbia.edu/genesis/netbind/ NetBind balances the flexibility of network programmability against the need to process and forward packets at line speeds in routers. While the design of NetBind is generic, the current implementation of the tool is focused toward the Intel IXP1200 network processor. The following source code, utilities and services are available: + a binding tool (NetBind) for constructing data paths and virtual routers in network processor-based routers; + a programming language and interpreter (ni) for profiling modular data paths; + a modular IPv4 protocol stack (IPpath) and a suite of test programs that create the stack dynamically; + a set of IXP1200 microassembler extensions (uof2tmd) for creating the components of modular data paths. + remote access to Columbia's Virtual Network Testbed for experimenting with NetBind. For a paper on NetBind see: http://www.comet.columbia.edu/genesis/papers/openarch02_netbind.pdf "NetBind: A Binding Tool for Constructing Data Paths in Network Processor-based Routers" by Andrew T. Campbell, Stephen Chou, Michael E. Kounavis, Vassilis D. Stachtos and John B. Vicente, IEEE Fifth International Conference on Open Architectures and Network Programming (OPENARCH' 02), June 2002. Thanks, Genesis Team NetBind Software was developed by the Genesis Project, which is sponsored by the NSF and with support from the Intel Research Council, Hitachi and Nortel Networks.

The KEIXP12EBAB kits will run Linux out of the box you can find the distribution at ftp://ftp.netwinder.org/users/u/urnaik/. Be aware that SDK 2.0 does not support KEIXP12EBAB. All the tools may be used to develop code but the micro-ace infrastructure will not run. > > Does anyone know how much Intel wants for the Microengine C Compiler? > We are in the process of arranging special education pricing but don't have a final answer yet stay tuned. > What other tools are required that I don't know about? Not a required tool but another environment that runs on the eval system is available at http://www.cs.princeton.edu/nsg/vera/ > > Can you develop on the evaluation kit using only free software tools? Yes you can do all your development with the tools from the SDK and the GCC that is part of the Linux distribution. --Dirk

Hi, Try this: During RedHat 7.2 installation, choose "Firewall Configuration" as "No Firewall" Rationale: Initially I had chosen "Medium" for Firewall Configuration. In the Red Hat documentation, I read that, in this case your firewall will not allow access to certain resources on your system. By default, access to these resources are not allowed- · Ports lower than 1023 - the standard reserved ports, used by most system services, such as FTP, SSH, telnet and HTTP {Note: TFTP uses port 69} · The NFS server port (2049) <?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /> So, I finally decided to do a fresh installation choosing "No Firewall" I am sure then your TFTP server will work as desired. -Ranjeeta -----Original Message----- From: Rayashish(a)aol.com [mailto:Rayashish@aol.com] Sent: Tuesday, March 05, 2002 11:52 AM To: ixp1200(a)CS.Princeton.EDU Subject: Re: [ixp1200] (no subject) no, it is workstation installation. --Ashish
