Hi:
The QnX documentaion on the web talks about it’s ability to support
multiple TCP/IP stacks on the same physical interface. However, I was not
able to find any document explaining how one achives this.
Also, assuming I do set up multiple stacks, do they all see multiple
virtual interfaces (vifs, if present) as one big interface? Or can I
configure 1 stack per vif ?
Help would be greatly appreciated. (An email would be splendid!)

Which docs are you looking at? Are you sure it isn’t saying multiple
protocol stacks (ie. tcpip and qnet)?

Nope. Am looking at:
http://www.qnx.com/developer/docs/momentics_nc_docs/neutrino/sys_arch/tcpip.
html
It says explicitly:
Multiple stacks
The QNX network manager (io-net) lets you load multiple protocol shared
objects (e.g. npm-tcpip.so) This means, for example, that you can load
several instances of the TCP/IP stack on the same physical interface, making
it easy to create multiple virtual networks (VLANs). You can even run
multiple, independent instances of the network manager (io-net) itself. As
with all QNX system components, each io-net naturally benefits from complete
memory protection thanks to QNX’s microkernel architecture.
