Lesson plan
IL (network protocol)
The Internet Link protocol or IL is a connection-based transport-layer protocol designed at Bell Labs originally as part of the Plan 9 operating system and is used to carry 9P. It is assigned the Internet Protocol number of 40. It is similar to TCP but much simpler. Its main features are: * Reliable datagram service * In-sequence delivery * Internetworking using IP * Low complexity, high performance * Adaptive timeouts As of the Fourth Edition of Plan 9, 2003, IL is deprecated in favor of TCP/IP because it doesn't handle long-distance connections well.
