I have to credit this blog for much of the material I've absorbed over the years, it's been fantastic how much I've learned here. I've always managed to learn something new from articles, all this to say that today is different... I really do not understand this library at all. Could someone explain me different possible uses for this library? What would be the uses of this out of the box?

#17The author forgot to add a license for this project. What shall we assume?
EDIT: I was referring to the kernel support, but it looks like you might have been talking about the code on Github which uses the LibOS API. That does indeed seem to be missing a license.

#20It will be interesting to see how this evolves; hopefully it will make it easier to build a userland TCP/IP stack, and maybe even to make it easier to ship a new transport protocol (this might make it easier to push for HTTP over SCTP instead of TCP, which makes far more sense, really). Also this will be nice if it allows userland applications to utilize ICMP (traceroute/nmap would no longer be nerfed without root ac…
