Tux: Efficient Drop-in Networking for Database Systems
Summary: Tux is a database-oriented kernel-bypass stack with reliable message-based transport, DBMS/NIC pushdown, and eBPF/XDP driver reuse. LibTux offers drop-in compatibility or minimal integration, delivering up to 2.3× throughput and 4.7× lower tail latency. (summarized by gpt-5.6-luna on Jul 24 2026)
