My aim is to optimize pfinet and add advanced networking to it. pfinet runs on the Hurd, not on MacOS X for example. May be if it run on Mac OS X I'd choose another methods (or I didn't start to think about it at all). But currently we are talking about the Hurd. The Hurd is running above GNU Mach.
