For my master’s thesis, I looked at how to get better throughput over 5G mmWave, which has really unpredictable bandwidth. Just using a big BFIFO buffer (sized to the BDP) gave us twice the throughput of FQ-CoDel, but at the cost of high ji

Initially I did use fork a lot to allow each handler in its own “process” mainly because I wanted to isolate it as well in a container fashion. However the overhead became to much at the start when I just wanted it to work. Will be looking

You’re absolutely right, I have not tried very hard to optimize for speed either yet. To comment was more directed at the fact most just say that “speed” is the main reason to use C, but for me it’s almost exclusively for the fun and “cool”

If you would want to link with external libraries, you would need to modify to server and make sure it has access to them when compiling the modules.

This hobby project is inspired by kernel modules and AWS Lambda. It lets you write raw C modules, upload them, and have the server compile and run only the module itself at runtime—no need to recompile the entire application or restart the
