jeez, that's so stupid. years ago when IBM asked me for input on the design they were planning to do it right: cache misses appear in userland as sockets. i'd tell IBM the same thing i told sun: fix your interface. note that TUX does it right. > I hope I answered your question, but I'm not sure that I did. you might also want to think about webmux. 'cause i think it breaks some more assumptions you're making (such as 1:1 mapping between client and kernel network object). -dean
