Everyone,
There is currently no interface for using sockets within the kernel.
However, there is a need for kernel sockets and the currently
solution used by developers is to use private interfaces.
So I propose to start a new project within the Networking community
that would develop a well defined interface for using kernel sockets.
Hi Anders,
I don't doubt that there is a need for in-kernel sockets,
however I don't see any justification from you about why
we should have a project created to work on them.
Would you provide some explanation (and urls) to back up
your proposal please?
What is the criteria for creating an open solaris project ?
In this part particular case many vendors have asked for kernel sockets
on networking-discuss. We want to design/develop the interface in the
open so that vendors who will use this interface can provide input in
the design and also contribute towards coding.
The email was sent to opensolaris-discuss, as well as
networking-discuss. I have not seen any traffic about
kernel sockets on opensolaris-discuss, and I am not
subscribed to networking-discuss. I thought it was
quite fair enough to ask for more information.
You can't assume that everybody on one list is on the
other as well.
cheers,
James C. McPherson
