Please read chapter 5 of Networking Algorithmics or ask someone to
paraphrase the content for you. It really covers this completely, and
once you read it you will be able to avoid reinenting the wheel and
falling under the false notion of having invented something :-)
Nothing in software is particularly unique given the same set of
requirements. Unfortunately, none of the local book stores have a copy
of Networking Algorithmics in stock, so it will be a few days before it
arrives. What problems does this approach have? Aside from the fact that
it's useless unless implemented on top of AIO type semantics, it looks
like a good way to improve performance.
