It is NOT integrated into the Berkeley socket mechanism. It can be used with either Interlan or DEUNA Ethernet drivers, MIT Chaos net boards (rather rare), and probably DEQNA drivers by now. The Interlan and DEUNA drivers require you to configure your machine at least with a Internet address since it uses the Berkeley IP driver for those devices. This is so machines running both IP and Chaos need only one Ethernet interface. Available services are comparable to TCP/IP -- Telnet (based on Arpanet new telnet protocol), Supdup, File Transfer, remote finger etc. There is probably no real reason why a site that didn't already have an MIT type Chaos net in place (there are perhaps 10 serious such sites besides MIT) would want to use this in preference to TCP/IP.
