Network Stack Cloning Updates on FreeBSD

Posted by Hemos on Sunday September 14, 2003 @11:23PM from the multi-stack-joy dept.

Dan writes "Network stack cloning patches on FreeBSD allow for multiple fully independent network stacks to simultaneously coexist in a single FreeBSD kernel. Marko Zec has prepared a latest snapshot of the patches (against 4.8-RELEASE). The latest snapshot includes (a) internal restructuring - - struct vimage is now separated in resource-specific containers, and (b) Kernel message buffers - each vimage / vprocg now has a private kernel message buffer instance. Julian Elischer gave a talk on this subject at the USENIX Annual Technical Conference (FreeNIX track) in San Antonio, TX, June 2003. Marko's slides were presented at BSDCon Europe 2002 in Amsterdam."

If this is true, why not tell us his last name?

me thinks you just have a grudge against someone and do not want to reveal his full name because of the obvious slander lawsuit that would be levied against you.
