Protocol Service Decomposition for High-Performance Networking

C. Maeda, and Brian N. Bershad. Proceedings of the 14th ACM Symposium on Operating Systems Principles. December 1993, pp. 244-255.

The Idea: implement protocol stack in user space on top of a low-level kernel interface. It will go faster than the "server implementation" (it runs on the Mach microkernel, so there are lots of boundary crossings).
