@ -37,7 +37,7 @@ Brief design details of POSIX wrapper
+ Maintains internal buffers to accommodate an underlying fundamental difference between POSIX and Win32 IO APIs - IOReady Vs IOComplete (Ex for a Read operation, POSIX APIs signal when IO is ready - date will be subsequently, explicitly read, Win32 APIs signal when IO has completed - data is already copied to a user provided buffer. Though this may be perceived as a performance hit, a validation exercise did not show any major impact. It in fact proved beneficial in reducing kernel calls during "read"s (ex. reading a header, would fetch the entire packet in a single call).
