Marko, I'm following along using p4 and the diff script. It looks good.. If it all seems to be working we should commit what you have and then we should get Kris and Robert to try some of their benchmarks.. to confirm the numbers you saw earlier. Kris, the change that is upcoming for the next vimage commit gathers the various networking globals in the system and aggregates them together into several functional structures. e.g. one for inet related vars and another for interface and basic networking infrastructure related vars. The thing we would like "independent" corroboration of is that the change to having these gathered together, and initialized by an explicit initialization routing does not give any significant performance difference for a representative set of networking tests. Kris and Robert, what tests would you suggest and is there a chance that we can get some "independent" testing done on this?
