Awhile ago a document was posted on this list containing the wishlist and goals as well. A sketch of possible architecture for the network kit was posted as well (based on BONE architecture). I'm not sure if the list archives have all these old posts, but I do and I could either repost them or zip and post them as an attachment. > I know the Zoidberg guys wanted to do a replacement based on 5.1, which > would not allow kernel integration (and hence it could never really get much > the performance I'd like to think we could see :((). Is this another team working on the network stack (if it is, than obviously we are in a dire need of a better communication :-))? Seriously though, I believe that this route was taken and _discarded_ by Be guys. So why should we repeat the same mistakes and do the job twice (I mean we will end up rewriting the stack because of performance reasons)? Dmitri
