Traditionally, operating systems have used monolithic network stack implementations: implementations where the whole network stack executes in the kernel or (in microkernels) in a single, trusted, user level server. Code maintenance issues, ease of debugging, need for simultaneous existence of multiple protocols, and security benefit have argued for removing the networking implementation from kernel and dividing it into multiple user level protection domains. Previous attempts to do so have failed to deliver adequate performance. Given the advances made in both hardware (CPU, Memory, NIC) and micro-kernel design over the last decade, it is now appropriate to re-evaluate how these re-factored implementations perform, and to examine the reaso...
