| + | ## Apple fast UDP |
| + | |
| + | There are undocumented system calls available in Apple operating systems that |
| + | when used allow for faster sending and receiving of UDP messages. |
| + | |
| + | The undocumented and thus unsupported-by-Apple nature of these functions |
| + | brings a risk that they are removed in a future OS update, or perhaps worse: |
| + | marginally modified to instead cause subtle and hard-to-spot bugs. |
| + | |
| + | Graduation requirements: |
| + | |
| + | - testimonials from users that these work reliably |
| + | |
| + | - measurements that show they make a measurable performance impact |
| + | |
| + | - an easy way to (re-)build curl to not use these functions |
