So what would you call direct DMA from the disk controller to the network adapter? Minus-one-copy? And even in the sendfile(2) case, data sometimes *is* copied in-core to satisfy alignment requirements etc. Stop using buzzwords just because they give you a woody. (and yes, even a Dr. Scient can be mistaken. Papers don't make you smart, you know - though I wouldn't expect someone who brags about being an MCSE and MCNE to understand that) DES -- Dag-Erling Smorgrav - [EMAIL PROTECTED] To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
