Me? Well, it's been discussed. Don't know what Apple's plans are. One
thing I've wanted to see for a long time (Jim) is a better "mbuf
cluster" implementation (Jim) that allows for variable-sized clusters.
This would make support for jumbo frames (and things like FDDI/TR) more
efficient (Jim). It'll have to wait until priorities adjust themselves,
though (Jim).
That would be nice to see. We need this over the fence in FreeBSD too. I'm sick of all the drivers that contig malloc a "large" private chunk of memory & then carve it up and parcel it out... And then end up high & dry because of a large backlog on some connection... Drew
