What happened to the Open Group work on Async Sockets ?
I'm not sure how The Open Group's user space design would affect or
inform the issues for a kernel interface.
Can you clarify?
The design was for an interface. It didn't constrain implementations
to the extent that kernel involvement was not possible. Indeed, since
interaction with non-async use of sockets was considered (i.e. these
objects called sockets are still really sockets), I'd have thought
kernel involvement a requirement for a decently-performing
implementation.
I'm unsure what you mean by describing it as a "user space design"?
However, it sounds like Sun hasn't produced an implementation, so
in that sense it's no answer to the original poster's query.
Cheers,
Jeremy Harris
