summary

Overview of Linux system interfaces for building high-performance web servers, covering I/O multiplexing (e.g. epoll), sendfile-style zero-copy file transmission, and multithreaded handling of incoming connections. Compares Linux APIs’ behaviors, edge cases and shortcomings with similar Unix-like systems, and draws on the presenter’s practical experience with limitations in Linux kernel API design for application developers.
