IPS (~= RPS) was running on shared FSB HP9000's. Now, that was also a BSD
networking stack with netisrq's and the like. TOPS (~= RFS) was also run on
shared FSB HP9000s, as well as CC-NUMA HP9000s and Integrity systems. TOPS was
implemented in a Streams-based stack tracing its history to a common ancestor
with Solaris (Mentat).
