At one point, SGI had an intriguing prototype implementation of something called the "Scheduled Transfer Protocol" for Linux. Sadly, this project seems to have vanished into the mists. I -think- I have a copy, somewhere, that I downloaded from the Open Source projects site. I presume, from the fact that nobody else seems to have picked it up, that STP isn't as useful as it sounds. Is it something that would be worth forward-porting to a recent kernel, or is it more of a dead-end approach that can be done as well by other means? Jonathan Yahoo!
