I was on the irc channel talking about the feasibility using client-side memory buffers for a new network stack. Based on some feedback about difficulties of implementing this in the Hurd, I thought I would ask anyone if they thought this would be especially difficult--particularly Marcus and Neal

Hello Everyone, This is kind of a late follow up to these threads [1][2].
