STREAMS implementation of Internet protocols

	I'd like to learn more about how the Internet protocols have been 
implemented within the STREAMS framework. Being new to STREAMS, I have a
few simple questions: 

	1.) Is each layer (IP, TCP, UDP) implemented as a separate module?
	2.) When a second TCP connection is opened, is it the case that
	    just a stream head is created and linked to an already existing
	    TCP module, or is another entire TCP/IP stack of modules/queues
	    created for the new connection, assuming the procedures are
	    reentrant?
	3.) What work other than that done at Sequent has been done on
	    parallelizing STREAMS for multi-processor UNIX implementations?
	   

							Thanks,
