Fbufs as in Peter Druschel's fbufs and the Sun Labs paper "An
Efficient Zero-Copy I/O Framework for UNIX" (Thadani, Khalidi, 1995)?
Where is this being discussed?
Yes. They are bring discusssed under this same thread. See responses
from Sasha and Eric. We are also looking at implementing extended
sockets (async sockets) which use the same concept.
No wonder my simple comment about NFS
turned into a general zero-copy discussion..
This is very good. We need to have a general zero copy discussion so
that we can decide on the next steps.
