Does POE support the Kqueue and Epoll event
notification systems which are used on *BSD and Linux
respectively?
The ability to have POE use these facilities would
significantly improve the performance and scalability
of POE in many cases and for many solutions these
facilities will yield the best performance. Select()
while it works well with small loads and is avialable
on a wide range of platforms, and it is good to have
select() support, it does have scalability issues in
processing large loads, these issues are corrected by
Kqueue and Epoll. Kqueue and Epoll are similar in
their feature set, but Kqueue is perhaps more
versatile than Epoll in that it seems to support event
notification for a larger number of sources.
Adding support for both of these facilities to POE
will have many benefits and I am surprised if it hasnt
been done.
