/* network i/o */

#include "all.h"
#include "io.h"

/*
 * the kernel file server read packets directly from
 * its ethernet(s) and did all the protocol processing.
 * if the incoming packets were 9p (over il/ip), they
 * were queued for the server processes to operate upon.
 *
 * in user mode, we have one process per incoming connection
 * instead, and those processes get just the data, minus
 * tcp and ip headers, so they just see a stream of 9p messages,
 * which they then queue for the server processes.
 *
 * there used to be more queueing (in the kernel), with separate
 * processes for ethernet input, il input, 9p processing, il output
 * and ethernet output, and queues connecting them.  we now let
 * the kernel's network queues, protocol stacks and processes do
 * much of this work.
 *
 * partly as a result of this, we can now process 9p messages
 * transported via tcp, exploit multiple x86 processors, and
 * were able to shed 70% of the file server's source, by line count.
 *
 * the upshot is that Ether (now Network) is no longer a perfect fit for
 * the way network i/o is done now.  the notion of `connection'
 * is being introduced to complement it.
