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.
Absolutely and that is why I did provide the information.
My question about the criteria was a general question.
I still want to know if we have a criteria for what can be an open
solaris project.
Rao.
You can't assume that everybody on one list is on the
other as well.
cheers,
James C. McPherson
