Hi all,
I'm just wondering why mbufs seems to be much more important from an
administrator point of view than uio. I mean, both structures are used
to move data thru a stack (network or i/o), but the mbufs get
accounted by serveral tools (like netstat and so on) while uio does
not.
Am I totally wrong on this?

Luca
