Everyone,
There is currently no interface for using sockets within the kernel.
However, there is a need for kernel sockets and the currently
solution used by developers is to use private interfaces.
So I propose to start a new project within the Networking community
that would develop a well defined interface for using kernel sockets.
Hi Anders,
I don't doubt that there is a need for in-kernel sockets,
however I don't see any justification from you about why
we should have a project created to work on them.
Would you provide some explanation (and urls) to back up
your proposal please?
What is the criteria for creating an open solaris project ?
In this part particular case many vendors have asked for kernel sockets
on networking-discuss. We want to design/develop the interface in the
open so that vendors who will use this interface can provide input in
the design and also contribute towards coding.
Rao.
cheers,
