Hi! Nsock is based on good old select() (nsock_core.cc, line 174) Maybe it's time to move to some newer and faster technologies like epoll()? I think that stealing the code from libevent/epoll.c could be good idea for start. (except for BSD + advertising license) Also lighttpd has some interesting reactors (lighttpd/src/fdevent_linux_sysepoll.c). What do you guys think? Marek Majkowski [advertisement] Btw. It seems that in some corner cases nmap's nsock core is faster than libevent :) http://majek4.blogspot.com/2007/11/trinity-choice-nsock-over-libevent.html [/advertisement] _______________________________________________ Sent through the nmap-dev mailing list http://cgi.insecure.org/mailman/listinfo/nmap-dev Archived at http://SecLists.Org
