I'm looking at TAPS too as I'm looking for a general transport API other than TCP/UDP.

The kind of transport services we have developed in here https://git.fd.io/cicn/ do not fit in the current API.

Full user land implementation, which seems to be accepted nowadays, but not at all a few years back.

The API however is a hack of the INET API, which is rather obsolete, but this is what current apps can use.

So, hope TAPS gets traction.

And yes, IPv6, absolutely. Going through IPv4 middle boxes is a nightmare. No hope there.

And yes, flow queueing, absolutely. Flow isolation, becomes fundamental is such a zoo, or jungle.

How dead is posix these days? Ietf does not generally do apis well.

POSIX nowadays is

My take on it is that the IETF should not be scared to do APIs, even though there is a lot of resistance still.

However, the IETF should not do POSIX APIs, but instead something of their own.
