That networking isn't as good as it could in R5 doesn't have anything
to do with the fact that there is a net_server. If the net_server would
be reimplemented, there would be no need to include all its bugs with
it.
Anyway, the network team is preparing a kernel-level stack, similar to
BONE, to avoid the context-switch overhead (which can be huge for
networking stacks [lots of very small packets]).
Adios...
Axel.
