How it works
The network packet switching algorithm FQ-CoDel is commonly used to reduce latency and eliminate buffer bloat. One known challenge is the Linux kernel scheduler which services the interval timer for this algorithm. Since the Linux kernel scheduler is non-deterministic, it introduces jitter which leads to packet loss or bufferbloat. That in turn affects subscriber experience and leads to churn. Our innovation is the BareMetal kernel, an exokernel that avoids Linux's limitations.
Overview and pricing
We work directly with network appliance manufacturers and service providers by licensing BareMetal Kernel and requisite drivers. One-time charges may apply in case of custom driver development.
BareMetal Kernel vs Linux
Network polling for BareMetal Kernel is 25ns average versus Linux's 109ns, 4.4× faster in C. BareMetal also runs correctly with 16MB of RAM versus Linux's 192MB minimum.
