Well, that isn't entirely true. There are now kernel interfaces for doing such things without userspace involvement. I doubt that we're at the level of DMAing directly from the disk to the network device, so we're probably hitting main-memory at some point, but there is certainly the potential for higher thruput using these interfaces. My experience has been that this theoretical increase isn't yet realized, but it *should* be soon. -=R > > It's also more efficient for the receiver if they know the length up >> front.
