摘要：
This paper describes a new operating system kernel, called the x-kernel, that provides an explicit architecture for constructing and composing network protocols. Our experience implementing and evaluating several protocols in the x-kernel shows that this architecture is both general enough to accommodate a wide range of protocols, yet efficient enough to perform competitively with less structured operating systems.
