be better if we could get it.
I wish I knew more about how to implement it. :)

This may not be a workable solution, but if you can get 2 programs to
send data across the firewire to one another, you could use pppd through
that tunnel.

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.
