Any benchmarks against the MirageOS TCP/IP stack?

It would be interesting to see how the way Rust manages memory and its current optimizer match against OCaml in a production TCP/IP stack.



I'd love to get some benchmarks going. It's not as high a priority for me right now as getting to feature complete (my definition of that anyway).

The question you pose though is awkward. MirageOS is a unikernel, Trust-DNS is an application, a consumer of the TCP stack.

I have seen Rust apps built into rumprun, but as of right now this isn't something on my list, in theory it's possible.


It is not awkward at all.

You can build a DNS server with MirageOS and it is used like that in the context to the new Docker versions for Mac OS X and Windows, which is one example of being used in production.
