Once you have debugged and tuned a new protocol, you can make it available for others to use by creating a new directory in /usr/xkernel/protocols, copying your source files into that directory, creating a makefile in that directory, and modifying the makefile in /usr/xkernel/protocols. If your protocol is a device driver, put the source files in /usr/xkernel/PLATFORM/drivers instead of /usr/xkernel/protocols.
If you want to make your new protocol available to other sites, then make a tar file of your protocol available and drop a note to xkernel-bugs@cs.arizona.edu. We will include your protocol in the next release. You should also create a ``man page'' for you protocol similar to those found in Appendix A. The source files for these man pages are in /usr/xkernel/doc/manual/protocols.
