SubjectRe: [STATUS 2.5] January 30, 2002
Hi Guillaume,

Another work in progress in our group - Scalable statistics counters
by Ravikiran Thirumalai.

Here is the lkml discussion -
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?t=100755030000002&r=1&w=2

We are working on the suggestions regarding /proc integration.

Thanks
Dipankar
