Hello I have prototyped a networking library which tries to search the design space for a good interface in Haskell. I am trying to keep the design agnostic about protocols and the underlying implementation - so e.g. IPv6 just works. http://www.cs.helsinki.fi/u/ekarttun/network-alt/ Any comments welcome. Also it contains code which tests different IO models for sockets. Currently supported are: * select(2) - using the GHC implementation * blocking - use blocking calls - very fast with NPTL * epoll - quite fast on Linux - Einar Karttunen
