I'm just learning my way around the BeOS/OBOS networking (and networking in general), so please, be gentle. :) 1. How would you say the BeOS Network Kit compares to/with the ACE (ADAPTIVE Communication Environment)? http://www.cs.wustl.edu/~schmidt/ACE.html http://www.riverace.com/ 2. In NetworkKit.h, there's a comment: /* * Nettle forward declarations * * The Nettle networking object library is compiled into the netapi kit * and used by these kit classes. [snip] */ Is it a better question to ask, how does Nettle compare to/with ACE? 3. The way I understand it, the BeOS currently has 2 networking API's built into it: the Network Kit Class Library and the Posix Sockets library calls. How could ACE fit into this? Who might get implemented in terms of whom? hmm.... I wonder: Could the Network Kit methods be currently implemented in terms of the Sockets calls?
