>From looking at your wiki, "network stack" may have been a poor choice of term - it looks like rather than being a new network stack (which in Linux, is commonly used to refer to the software stack that lives between the APIs and the hardware), this is a new protocol (and framework _for_ protocols) operating at the same level of the network as IP, with ideas extending upwards through TCP. Now, that's a rather different proposal - witness that RDS, TIPC, etc all made it into the kernel relatively easily, especially when compared to netmap, or any other system that tried to replace the Linux networking infrastructure. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
