RE: Adding epoll support to Kannel

Hi,

Epoll generally adds a lot of complexity.  Generally, using epoll implies thread-pooling, use of semaphores, etc.  Is this consideration being driven by profiling indicating that the processes are somehow being thread-bound?  Or some other consideration?

Regards,

Subject: Adding epoll support to Kannel

Hi all,

Do any of you have any comments or concerns about potentially adding epoll support to Kannel ?

I think long term this could be used for better connection management rather than the 'connection per thread' approach we currently make use of (mostly).

Cheers,
Donald
