After such a criptic subject heading, all I am after is any information
comparing the overheads of TCP and UDP. My honours year project is looking
at InterProcess Communication for Distributed Operating Systems, and how
to minimize the overheads (on an Ethernet 10M) while allowing the network
to talk to UNIX (running on a Pyramid 90X) and allow for reliable 
(in some cases) communication.

Any further advice / information would be helpful.

You may reply by e-mail, or via the net if you feel the information would
be of some use elsewhere.

THANK YOU.
