Mac OS X and Windows XP both have IP over firewire either working or
in the works and somewhat usable. The only one I can claim any experience
with is Mac OS X. It's somewhat flaky though and you get unreliable spikes
in some basic performance tests I have done with it.
It would be a really interesting value added feature for FreeBSD 5.x and could potentially open FBSD up even more to the "cluster" market which is somewhere its not as proliferated as linux.
With the advent of firewire2 on the horizon it may be even more impressive.
I believe there is even an Oracle product for linux which can cluster databases
over firewire now. [I don't know if its IP though]

Hi, there is some plan to port NetBSD's implementation of IP over Firewire? I know, we have "Ethernet over Firewire", but like the Linux one, isn't a standard...
Just curious.
