    I know. Unfortunately currently there's no good HP to illustrate

   This interface is used to interconnect multiple instances of Linux 
   (currently only Linux) LOGICALLY (called Extended Partiton) partitioned
   running PRIMEQUEST.

   The following manual is useful to understand Extend Partiton and
   Extended Socket.
