Threads in FreeBSD network stack implementation

A

asp5

Hi all,

I would like to know if the current implementation of the FreeBSD network stack understands threads or is implemented as entirely as a single process (with a single thread of execution). Pls let me know if there are threads running with in the kernel context.

Thanks,
asp5.

Hi,
I could not edit the question, so quoting it. If there are threads, how are these implemented. I'm assuming that there are threads one which fills-up the buffer (which is a mbuf I guess) and one which consumes the buffer. I'm not sure if the pthreads are available in kernel space. If these are not pthreads is there a doc where I can get info on how these threads are implemented.

Thanks,
asp5
