netisr

[Giovanni P. Tirloni]

Hi folks,

 I'm studying the network stack and now I'm confronted with something
 called netisr. It seems ether_demux puts the packet in a netisr queue
 instead of passing it directly to ip_input (if that was the packet's
 type). Is this derived from LRP ? I've read their paper and it looks
 like their network channel (ni) but I'm not sure. I also read about it
 in 5.2 TODO list about fine-grained locking.

 Where can I find more information on this? 

 Thanks
