Now this is userspace networking I can get behind! Rather than re-implement a new network stack and solve all the same problems again, this builds on the years

Now this is userspace networking I can get behind! Rather than re-implement a new network stack and solve all the same problems again, this builds on the years of good work already done and leverages the existing time investment within the existing stack. "Librarising" existing stacks to userspace, great idea, this is the way of the future.

The NetBSD rump kernel (rumpkernel.org) does this for every driver in the kernel, and is part of the OS, so they are maintained (there are lots of stacks pulled out but not maintained). Thats why it is important that this project becomes part of upstream so it can be maintained as the stack changes.
