Networking over FireWire

FireWire, with the help of software, is well-suited for creating ad-hoc (terminals only, no routers) computer networks. Specifically, RFC 2734 specifies how to run IPv4 over the FireWire interface, and RFC 3146 specifies how to run IPv6.
Linux, Windows XP and Mac OS X are popular operating systems that include support for networking over FireWire. A network between two computers can be created without a hub, much like the scanner to printer example above. Using one FireWire cable, data can be transferred quickly between the two computers with minimal networking configuration. Due to "unpopularity", Microsoft has removed support for networking over FireWire[11] in Windows Vista.
