What is TUX FOR LINUX?

TUX FOR LINUX

TUX is a kernel-based, threaded, extremely high-performance HTTP server. It efficiently and safely serves both static and dynamic data, moving the HTTP protocol stack to the kernel and handling requests with kernel-space and user-space modules.

Key Features:

• Kernel-based HTTP server


• Efficiently serves static and dynamic data


• Moves HTTP protocol stack to the kernel


• Handles requests with kernel-space and user-space modules

Technical Specifications:

Static web pages are important, and TUX handles them directly. It can collaborate with kernel modules, user-space modules, and regular user-space web server daemons to provide dynamic content. TUX doesn't alter regular user-space daemons, but for caching dynamic content, user-space code needs to use a new interface based on the tux(2) system call.

Benefits of TUX FOR LINUX:

• Efficiently serves static pages


• Can cache dynamic content


• No need to alter regular user-space daemons


• New API for providing dynamic content

TUX provides a unique way to cache dynamic content, with modules capable of creating and storing "objects" using the page cache. It can respond to dynamic data requests by mixing dynamically-generated data with cached pre-generated objects, taking advantage of TUX's zero-copy architecture.

Compatibility:

• Runs on Linux


• Kernel-space and user-space modules

If TUX encounters input it can't handle, it redirects the request to Apache for RFC-compliant processing. Existing CGI applications may need to be re-coded to fully utilize TUX's architecture, but TUX can also call CGI programs via its CGI module.
