kernel speed - antiquated protocol
Someone told me that there is an antiquated networking protocol that is in the kernel that slows it down a lot because the kernel keeps pausing to check on that protocol even if you are not using. I think maybe it was x.25 or something but not sure. Anyway, the story goes that the kernel developers kind of "hard wired" into the code and it isn't in with the options you would select when turning stuff on and off. You have to go in and manually edit the code and so on. Does anyone know about this? Is there a more appropriate forum for me to post it to?
I've never heard of that before, so I don't know if it exists or not.
Its refreshing to see someone who acknowledges absence of knowledge does not equate with knowledge of absence.
I have never heard about one such protocol. Where did you read about it?. Can you provide a link?.
Sorry I don't / can't.
I thought about doing a search of kernel sources for x.25 and seeing if it is in there anywhere although there is no guarantee it is labled as such or that x.25 is the one in question.
x25 is an EXPERIMENTAL kernel module and not loaded on my Trisquel systems, even though it is present in /lib/modules/...
