Is this correct, how does one use them They provide a way to filter incomming connections so that the application doesn't see them accept()'able until the filter is satisfied. The idea is that once apache does a setsocketopt() using SO_ACCEPTFILTER and accf_http the kernel will hold connections until the full http request is there. This reduces the active amount of apache processes needed from the hundreds, probably down to the tens. > Are there plans to incorporate this into some webserver like > Apache/thttpd possibly in conjunction with kqueue/kevent I don't know, I don't work on those servers. I do have plans to write a FreeBSD specific server that ought to be insanely fast, but that'll be a while. :) -- -Alfred Perlstein - [[EMAIL PROTECTED]|[EMAIL PROTECTED]] "I have the heart of a child; I keep it in a jar on my desk."
