In its heyday, the 1394 Net Adapter offered distinct performance advantages:
This peer-to-peer nature facilitated the development of the "1394 Net Adapter." Operating system vendors, most notably Microsoft, released drivers that treated the 1394 bus as a Network Interface Card (NIC). This allowed two computers to be networked simply by connecting a FireWire cable, creating a plug-and-play Local Area Network (LAN) without the need for crossover cables or hub infrastructure. 1394 net adapter driver
The driver formats the IP packet by prepending a specific header defined by RFC 2734. This header includes: In its heyday, the 1394 Net Adapter offered
IEEE 1394 controllers are typically DMA-capable devices. When a hostile device is plugged into a FireWire port, it can potentially utilize the OHCI physical DMA to read and write system RAM directly, bypassing the operating system's security layers. This header includes: IEEE 1394 controllers are typically
