[Pvfs2-developers] Re: BMI TCP socket close for sock buf size

[Walt Ligon]

OK, thanks (and thanks Brad).  that's kind of what I thought.  For the 
moment it really isn't an issue of being "in" the server, as being used 
by client state machines versus server state machines.  I presume when 
you used it in the server, the server was acting as a client and running 
a client state machine.

This is where I get to the complicated part of this whole thing.  The 
concurrency is *almost* done (he says with undeserved bravado) but the 
real trick is we want to be able to run client state machines on the 
server.  I have ideas for this, but they're a little sketchy.  Anyway, 
it's not a big deal at this point, I'm getting to the point I can move 
things around a bit if I need to.

Phil, thanks for your response to Sam.  that is exactly how I was going 
to put it (word for word, how did you DO that?) so I'm glad I don't have 
to type it up.

Good stuff!  onward!
