Teaching Network Programming with Ada and Lower Layer - González-Barahona.. (1998)   (Correct)

....the ACE toolkit [Sec94] also written in C ) and of [Arn95] written in C) We prefer Lower Layer approach as it remains as close to the network as UDP BSD sockets are. Some work has been made in order to provide thin Ada bindings to the BSD sockets library such as Distributed Communications [CKF90] and PARADISE [Cou94] both written in Ada 83) However, they usually offer just a C like interface written in Ada. For our teaching purposes, only C language related problems would be solved if this approach were used. And what is more, these bindings tend to show the whole complexity of the BSD ....

Lower_Layer: A Family of Interfaces to Transport.. - Barahona, Quirós..   (Correct)

....more oriented towards providing support for distributed agreement protocols than to provide a unified interface to different communication libraries. In that sense, Lower Layer provides lower level abstractions, and emphasizes the portability aspects. In the Ada field, Distributed Communications [5] is a generic package for programming message passing between Ada 83 programs. It accepts, as formal parameter, the type of the messages to be interchanged, and thereafter is able to work with both typed messages and raw byte streams. Its interface is modeled after the file I O model of Ada: for ....
