Document Conventions
This document follows the most significant byte first (MSB) and most significant word
first (MSW) conventions for byte-ordering. Bits are numbered from the least signifi-
cant to the most significant (bit 0 is the least significant bit). In all packet transfers
between the client computer system and the Freeway processor, the ordering of the byte
stream is preserved. Processes on the client computer are never required to perform
byte stream manipulation regardless of the hardware configuration.
The term “Freeway” refers to any of the Freeway server models (for example, Freeway
500/3100/3200/3400 PCI-bus servers, Freeway 1000 ISA-bus servers, or Freeway
2000/4000/8800 VME-bus servers). References to “Freeway” also may apply to an
embedded ICP product using DLITE (for example, the embedded ICP2432 using
DLITE on a Windows NT system).
Physical “ports” on the ICPs are logically referred to as “links.” However, since port and
link numbers are usually identical (that is, port 0 is the same as link 0), this document
uses the term “link.”
Program code samples are written in the “C” programming language.
