Performance Enhancements to the HSC FDDI Driver

HP-UX 11i includes code that enhances the HSC FDDI driver. These driver

modiﬁcations increase performance of the FDDI link by up to 20%.

The performance enhancement was done by making the driver MBLK-based, whereas

previously it was MBUF-based. Other code-path and function-call reductions have

further improved performance and scalability. These changes are not directly visible to

the user and have no effect on current documentation or support.
