There have been many changes and improvements added to the 3.x kernel that may overlap with this work. Publishing the code and details on github is great, but working with the kernel community and merging into the mainstream kernel is the only way for work like this to have a long-term meaningful existence - Google in particular have been doing a great job getting networking improvements in.&lt;p&gt;That said, it&amp;#x27;s interesting to have this kind of thing come out of large-scale production web environments in China.</text></comment>

I would hope they start working with the upstream Kernel otherwise this project will stay stuck in Limbo as previous initiatives to improve TCP handling at kernel level (e.g: Megapipe).&lt;p&gt;This version do not support TCP_FASTOPEN, SO_REUSEPORT, TCP_AUTOCORKING, etc.</text></comment>
