[MirageOS-devel] Parallelizing writing to network devices

[Masoud Koleini <masoud.koleini@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all,

Wondering about the semantics of Lwt_ring and Netif.write. I am writing 
a code that sends an Lwt_stream of frames over a network device using 
Netif.write with highest possible rate and preferably respecting frame 
ordering. Another thread pushes frames into this stream.
To parallelize writing to the output device, a recursive iteration over 
the stream extracts every element using Lwt_stream.next, and calls 
Netif.write under Lwt.ignore_result. Threads stop functioning with no 
error printed on the console at high packet rates. Any suggestion?
Thanks.
