[tipc-discussion] TIPC Over IP

[jason <huz...@gm...>]

Hi all,

I'm currently working on putting TIPC on the top of IPv4 trying to let TIPC
messsages to pass through router. Are there already have any related
works,or could you please give me some advices on how to implement it?

Currently I think the implementation is going to be like this:

1) IP for TIPC is nothing but a new media type. Each IP address can be
treated as a TIPC Bearer, because each node can have multiple IP
address.TIPC link can be established even if the tow peer bearer IP belong
to different IP network. Further more, two IP Address in a node can be in
different IP network too.

 2) Register TIPC as a new upper protocol to IP just like what TCP do.

3) Questions come. What entities will the TIPC zone cluster and node be
mapped into the IP world?. How to let TIPC multicast/boardcast/neighbor
detection pass through IP router?

I need your suggestion. Thank you very much!
