Great! :)

Yes, it is easier to speed up existing application layer proxies using
this technology. When I was doing some works on ktcpvs, I thought that it
is complicated to implment application protocol handling inside the
kernel, almost all the things need to be rewritten, and there are many
application protocols, it would really require a lot of efforts to make a
pure layer-7 switching inside the kernel of full functionality. So, I
started to work on the tcp splicing code, to speed up existing application
layer proxies running the user space first. However, ktcpvs is more
flexible to handle data inside the kernel and is easier to be extended, so
I will still work on it. :)
