Abstract

In this position paper we introduce Reowolf: an on-going project that aims to replace the decades-old application programming interface, BSD sockets, for communication on the Internet. A novel programming interface is being implemented at the systems level that is inter-operable with existing Internet applications.

Received support from NLnet: NGI Zero PET fund from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No. 825310.
