It discusses the parallelization of the xkernel network protocol code
for shared memory multiprocessors.  It includes analysis of various
simulations that the authors ran over their implementation using
various traces of tcp and udp connection sets.  They also explore
strategies, payoff, and the overhead of the locking itself on the
operations that need to be performed.
