It's been a sort of a remote inspiration :-) A major problem with it (besides the security stuff listed on Wiki) is that it's implementation is in-kernel, and as such can be used directly only when the OS has the implementation. There is no way to write a portable application with it. Other than that, I'm proposing an opposite approach: why bother about reducing the cost of the initial connection, if we can instead just open the connection once and then keep it open for a very long time at a low cost? -SB _______________________________________________ freebsd-hackers@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-hackers To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-hackers-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
