Subject: Re: [9fans] Why is the tcp/ip stack of plan9 implemented in kernel?
Topicbox-Message-UUID: cb358eac-ead9-11e9-9d60-3106f5b1d025

in early versions of plan9 the tcp/ip stack in Streams, inherited (I assume) from V10.

This turned out not to be as clean nor as efficent as hoped and this was dropped
for a more traditional implementation in later releases. Maybe the bad experiences
of poor performance informed the decision for an in-kernel implementation?
