A friend of mine mentioned that the MS support may all be a big scam. It makes it easy to kill TOE if they get involved ;-> Yes, there will be some MIS managers who will buy the M$ B$. What about inf

I didn't say I agree with all of Moguls ideas, just his anti-TOE arguments. For example, I also think RDMA sucks too yet he thinks it's a good iea. On send this doesn't matter, on receive you use my

Please don't. I think page flipping was a bad idea. I think you'd be better off to try and make the data flow up the stack in small enough windows that it all sits in the cache. One thing SGI taught

It doesn't work. Measure the cost of the VM operations before you go down this path. Just set up a system call that swaps a page with a kernel allocated buffer and then see how many of those you can

Ok. So the page is in a non-uptodate state, NFS would have it locked, and anyone else trying to get at it would sleep. This page we have currently is "dummy" in that it is only a place holder in case

Well.... there's optimizations you can do on the send side.. For example, in this case, you know a priori what the IP header will look like, so you can use tricks like scatter-gather to send the head
