Hello, I was wondering what sort of correspondence there is between
Mach ports on a NeXT and the port numbers on the TCP/IP network beteen
the NeXTs (if I have my names & abbrev.s right =8) ). Does each
Mach port get assigned a new port number (unlikely)? Do all Mach
messages get sent to one particular port, with Mach-port-info
in the header? How are they specified, then, in a non-reusable manner
(so if a port dies, and a new one gets created, it won't suddenly start
getting packets meant for the old port)?
