This work was based on the study of different line-oriented TCP/IP protocol RFCs, as they are the highest authority on protocol implementation.
For the implementation, ProtoWrap was tested on the servers located at UNAM ENEP Iztacala, the author's workplace. It was tested using the Linux/i386, Linux/Alpha and OpenBSD/i386 operating systems. As Perl is a highly portable language, the program should run with no modifications on almost any Unix system.
Due to the differences in the handling of file descriptors, it is highly improbable that it can run on Windows or MacOS (version 9 or lower) operating systems.
