Would it be difficult to modularize it? I am also interested in your opinion about it: Does it make sense to modularize the netstack? Why would a monolithic/modular netstack be better? We at Haiku are inclined towards modular systems, but the question whether it is needed for a netstack came up on our ML, so I wanted to hear what your situtation and opinion about this topic is. Thank you. Bye, Waldemar Kornewald
