    Magik6k got a reaction from Izaya in OETF #7 - ON2 - Simple L2 protocol for network stacks   
    The following document is still a DRAFT and a subject to change, though protocol and assigned numbers should not change.
     
    1. Purpose
    ON2 - OCNet L2 protocol - is a very simple standard is aimed at advanced network stacks. It provides protocol tagging and optional vlan separation for devices that support it.
     2. Protocol
    ON2 utilizes the fact that OpenComputers network message can have multiple parameters. When a message(data frame) is sent using ON2 layer, the implementation sets first data parameter to protocol number and passes the data via second data argument. Port number(if supported by device) can be used as VLAN tag allowing network separation. Default port number(vlan) is 1
    Here is an example modem call for sending data frame with protocol 0x46 (IP frame):
    component.invoke(modem, "send", dest, vlan, 0x46, ip_data) 3. Implementation recommendations
    Each network stack implementation should default to listening and sending on port 1. If packet of with unknown protocol number is received is should be silently dropped. Implementations should pass local/remote address and interface information(modem ID, vlan or interface object) to higher layers.
    4. Protocol numbers:
    Protocols are identified by numbers assigned in table below.
    |-------------------------------------------------------------| | PROTOCOL NUMBER | PROTOCOL NAME | DEFINING STANDARD | |-----------------X--------------------X----------------------| | 0x0C | OC HOST DISCOVERY | OETF #9 | |-----------------X--------------------X----------------------| | 0x46 | IPv4 or IPv6 Frame | RFC791 and RFC2460 | |-----------------X--------------------X----------------------| | 0xCF | OHCP CONFIG PROTO | OETF #10 | |-----------------X--------------------X----------------------| | 0x1000 | MultICE | ??? | |-----------------X--------------------X----------------------| | Above 0xFFFF | User defined | N/A | |-------------------------------------------------------------|  
    You can apply for assigning protocol number by a post in this thread.

    You can use braille Unicode characters to give the bars more resolution as with OC font they are exactly 1/4 vert and 1/2 horiz of a full character block(the characters are "⣀", "⣤", "⣶", "⣿", "⡇")

    Magik6k got a reaction from EliteClubSessions in MineOS, operating system   
    Super nice, but:
    * Scroll in license in installer is crashing
    * You should really consider using some package manager like OPPM/MPT for that
    * I have a strong feeling that this was ported from CC, structure of the files sort of doesn't fit OpenOS, have a look at this http://www.thebuzzmedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/09/linux_file_structure.jpg
    * With package manager packages wouldn't create mess in root directory
    * you REALLY, REALLY should use something like /home/[user]/Desktop/SomeApp.app, or at least /root/Desktop/some.app for app launchers, having all things inside the root (/) directory is not nice at all.
     
    Other loose suggestion for you is that you could adapt plan9k kernel(pipes package on mpt), to get multitasking and more security due to sandboxing. Learning how to use it may be a bit hard, but if you'd have a go at it you can catch me on IRC. Your entrypoint would be /bin/init.lua and you wouldn't have to modify Full OS to plug your functionality into something above BIOS level
    More on mpt: http://oc.cil.li/index.php?/topic/92-mpt-minecraft-packaging-toolbeta/
     
    The whole system looks really nice. In case it'd stay on top of OpenOS, it only needs some work here-and-there, like translations of things, small bugfixes, and it would be even worth seeing it on loot disk.
    And YAY, first(?) proper gui based shell/os in OC world.
