Adding stackless threading to BSD Kernel?

Question

IronPort developed a stackless threading model that allows the IronPort appliance to support more than 10,000 simultaneous connections in contrast to the 100 connections supported on a traditional OS.

If one wanted to do the same but to make it open source, where should they start?

Which particular OS can't handle more than 100 connections? Every OS I know of can handle thousands of connections easily, as long as your threading code is sane (ie. not a thread per socket) — Stack Overflow is garbage

The 100 connections was taken directly from the IronPort web page... — McGovernTheory

There are some implementations already available. Just do some digging around and you can find them. One of the most prevalent implementations is available under a BSD license: Protothreads
