> Was there progress on using rsocket under netperf or fork in general?

Fork support in rsockets is available now, and netperf should work.  It's not 
generic enough to handle any arbitrary call to fork, but will work if the app 
does something like this:

listen()
s = accept()
fork(s)

The last problem I hit into was trying to support vsftp, which called chroot.  
Handling chroot requires kernel changes.  But, between fork, fstat, chroot, 
dup2, epoll, and other calls, a kernel implementation of rsockets (or something 
similar) looks more appealing for apps that favor full compatibility over 
performance.
