In the MINA mailing list came up a question that I believe the API must
answer.
We need a way to query the system about the available native API. We
need to know if we will get better performance with the asynchronous API
or non-blocking API.
The objective is to be able to build a platform-independent solution
with a common external interface using either the asynchronous IO API,
or the non-blocking API.
James - I'm not on the MINA mailing list so I didn't see the background
to the question. In any case, the asynchronous I/O API provides a
platform independent API, the implementation of which makes use of
whatever the highest performing I/O facility is on the operating system.
There is also a provider interface if you want to plug in your own
implementation (although it's unlikely many people will do that).
