Comparing Protocols
-------------------

   This node develops a pair of programs (sender and receiver) that do
nothing but send a timestamp from one machine to another. The sender
and the receiver are implemented with each of the three protocols
available and demonstrate the differences between them.

File /inet/tcp

The TCP special file.

File /inet/udp

The UDB special file.

File /inet/raw

The RAW special file.
