Ask HN: Looking for a fantastic old talk on kernel network abstractions
3 by deltasepsilon | 2 comments on Hacker News.
Hi, it's probably been at least 10 years now since there was a talk about the design of network abstractions within an operating system kernel. I think it may have been by someone from the BSD camp, as opposed as to someone from Linux. The slides from the talk really elegantly addressed issues about the kind of devices and various complexities around abstracting driver interfaces whilst dealing with differing protocols, hardware interfaces, and other issues. I would really appreciate finding this talk again. Please help, I'm sorry I can't provide more details. I seem to have lost my old bookmark.
