BONE networking sucked when I was loading my artwork page with thumbnails
-- essentially all the connections hogged my processor space and my
computer became slower than a 200MMX.  Yick.  It was definitely an un-BeOS
like experience.

I don't know if that was a scheduler issue or what, but it's something
net_server never had to deal with....

I presume the problem with net_server was with data packets being dropped
when net_server wasn't listening in due to scheduling constraints.

Is there some way for us to create a kernel-level communications
"stack" protocol (useable for anything from Network to Serial busses) that
essentially acknowledges receipt of packets into a queue and passes that
information to a userland stack that does everything else?  Maybe that
makes no sense at all.
