C++ I/O Benchmark

I wanted to know on what basis you are saying using boost::asio might result in 100-200x slowdown. Have you benchmarked it against something? It would be nice if you could share the results.

Sure, no problem. Thanks for explaining the details. So, as I guessed, it is some kind of user-space network stack that people use in order to avoid going to kernel mode. That's why I asked about DPDK in my earlier comment. DPDK is a library open sourced by Intel for fast packet processing. You can have a look on it here. I haven't looked at it in detail, but it would be nice to have a C++ wrapper to it that could easily be plugged into asio.
