PDP-11 operating system by David Mills; although it was originally designed as an investigative tool and prototyping work-bench it saw extensive use in early Internet work as a backbone router for the NSFNET.
Contents
Operating System
This operating system was built atop of RT-11, where RT-11 would boot, then directly jump into a virtual Fuzzball machine. If you needed to change something on the underyling host, you needed to reboot the machine.
Deployment within NSFNET
Deployment as NTP Servers
