Last week we saw the benefits of rethinking memory and pointer models at the hardware level when it came to object storage and compression ( Zippads ). The protections are hardware implemented and cannot be forged in software. At hardware reset the boot code is granted maximally permissive architectural capabilities.

However, TCP is typically implemented in the operating system’s (OS’) kernel, a secure and more restricted environment, which for most OSes isn’t even open source. The reasons why are quite complex, and I’ve written several academic papers on the topic, as well as talked about it in a conference. Large preview ).
