>"For performance-oriented UDP-based apps, much of the OS networking stack is useless:

the app could simply use the driver API, much like DPDK-style applications already do.

There is currently no way to easily remove just the network stack but not the entire network sub-system from standard OSes."

This page is a great read for issues pertinent to any current or future OS developer...
