QNX Networking (Qnet) is message-based native networking that gives you access to any resource, anywhere
QNX Networking (Qnet™) is message-based native networking that gives you access to any resource, anywhere. Qnet features fault-tolerant networking, load-balancing on the fly, efficient performance, extensible architecture, and transparent distributed processing.

Qnet simply extends the QNX message-passing mechanism to provide the ultimate in flexibility. Under Qnet, messages are transparently transferred from one node to another. From an application's point of view, sending messages to a local or remote server is the same. One node can easily access another node's file system, servers, hardware resources, and so on. Qnet can also be configured to distribute processing needs across multiple nodes.

TCP/IP for QNX
The QNX realtime platform's full implementation of the TCP/IP protocol suite and utilities – including PPP, DHCP, NFS, RPC, and SNMP – makes it possible to run a variety of Internet services over a wide choice of networks. Using Ethernet or serial lines, users can connect to the Internet, the company WAN, log in to remote systems, exchange mail, run remote user interfaces, and more.

What's more, TCP/IP for QNX can be easily scaled down to a small stack, suitable for tiny client-based systems, or scaled up to a full BSD 4.4 implementation.
