I'm calling this "BETA 1" because I currently feel that all performance and other issues have been addressed and that the patch is up for serious consideration for inclusion into a future 2.4.x release: ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/davem/zerocopy-2.4.2p4-1.diff.gz Besides merging to 2.4.2-pre4 the main change in this release is a totally revamped paged-SKB sendmsg implementation by Alexey. I truly believe now that bandwidth/latency is back to where we were before the zerocopy patches, and preliminary testing done by Andrew Morton supports this. (actually, in my own testing, latency over loopback seems to have improved) Some verbose TCP debugging is enabled in this release, most of the messages are harmless %99 of the time. If these messages bother you just set "FASTRETRANS_DEBUG" back to "1" in include/net/tcp.h Thanks. Later, David S.
