Hello after long time,


the ned's script you mentioned is the lua .cfg, isnt it?
Giving them the same namespace, doesn't this make them ONE task, ie. 
share ALL memory?
If not, can u give me an example how to share just 4kB, for example?

I've also seen a flexpage example: examples/libs/l4re/streammap/.
Is this a nice example for a 4kB Flexpage?

I need to transmit a 4kB buffer and 4kB as response.
What is L4's most elegant way to do so?



Thank You.
