So how would you tell sendfile where the packet/datagram boundaries are? That's the big issue that comes to my mind. Also, would it be okay for sendfile to blast out datagrams as fast as it can, or is there some pacing needed? And how would you tell sendfile about the pacing that's needed? I'm not saying it would be impossible to do something like sendfile for UDP, but I don't see sendfile having enough capability to do the job. -- Dave Marquardt Sun Microsystems, Inc.
