oh, i believe you misunderstand. TUX itself is quite simple. But it extended the Linux TCP stack and scalability to new levels (which has nothing to do with TUX itself, it's the scalability of the Linux networking stack that evolved gradually over the past 10 years - we spend 95% of the time outside of TUX!). And if you claim that Linux needs this and that for scalability, then i'd like to point you humbly towards those existing, generic and well-performing results. TUX is just a 5% 'HTTP protocol fluff' around the generic stuff.
