Hi guys, Before I begin, I must apologize if this is not entirely kernel related. I am reading up on server scalability and from what I have gathered, there are basically 3 different implementations to achieving a scalable server. - poll - completion signaling - asynchronous i/o I came across this kernel patch for asychronous i/o, but the development stops at 2.4.0. Is there a path for 2.4.18? http://oss.sgi.com/projects/kaio/ I noticed that the patch differs from the aio in glibc. Will there be conflict in aio if the patch and the glibc exist in the same box? Also, what are your comments on the above 3 methods? Which will be the best in terms of enduring many connections/second? Thanks for any advices! regards, jon. -- Kernelnewbies: Help each other learn about the Linux kernel. Archive: http://mail.nl.linux.org/kernelnewbies/ FAQ: http://kernelnewbies.org/faq/
