What does Kademlia do that the current kernel can't handle already? (Hint - if it runs on a Windows system without patching the Windows kernel, it almost certainly doesn't need extensive patches for Linux either). 2) You forgot to cc: netdev@vger.kernel.org, which is where all the networking people hang out. --==_Exmh_1280753770_76572P Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.10 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Exmh version 2.5 07/13/2001 iD8DBQFMVsBqcC3lWbTT17ARAilVAKDCM2p5BjgcPJVsLBvWB1/hZHEyFwCfXF9j yJAtnU5cRuAEj9QxKr/NTx8= =jSZC -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --==_Exmh_1280753770_76572P-- -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
