UDP is stateless, a stripped down copy of TCP we simply do not need. We also do not need XML in the kernel either. If they want to support things like this they should do it in the firmware of the management entity like every other sane server platform does these days. The console and OOPS messages should go over an extremely resilient transport which is as simple as possible which usually means shared memory or I/O memory with some simple handshake or doorbell. This gets it to the management entity board or whatever, and how it gets from there to the remote system is it's business not that of the kernel. Not TCP, and definitely not this XML SOAP crap. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
