TUX 2.0 is now available for download at the following URL:
ftp://ftp.redhat.com/pub/redhat/tux/tux-2.0/
The TUX 2.0 release is an incremental upgrade to TUX 1.0 and keeps
source-code level compatibility with user-space modules.
A number of incremental enhancements have been made:
- True zero-copy disk reads: Whereas TUX 1.0 copied files into a temporary
buffer, TUX 2.0 is integrated with the page cache and thus uses zero-copy
block IO.
- Generic zero-copy network writes: TUX 2.0 uses the generic zero-copy TCP
framework.
- Zero-copy parsing: Where possible, TUX parses input packets directly.
Even in RAM-limited situations, TUX now does full, back-to-back
zero-copy I/O.
Other changes include:
- Enhanced user-space utilities and module support.
- Mass virtual hosting support. The host-based virtual server patch has
been added to TUX. There is no limit on the number of virtual hosts
supported, only RAM and diskspace.
- CGIs can be bound to particular CPUs or can be left unbound.
- A number of bugs were fixed which caused performance problems - TUX 2.0
is now significantly faster than TUX 1.0!
Those interested in TUX usage or development are welcome, if they have
not already done so, to join the TUX mailing list at:
tux-list@redhat.com
You can subscribe using the command:
echo subscribe | mail tux-list-request@redhat.com
Or you can use the web interface at

Thanks for your interest,
-- Ingo and Michael

According to http://www.spec.org/osg/web99/results/:
On a PowerEdge 8450/700 8 CPUs:
TUX 1.0: 6387
TUX 2.0: 7500
Looks like a remarkable boost!
