Hi Igor R, I have one answer to your question and one new question for you and other people.
Don't the following notes aswer your question?
1. I am sorry but it is no because there is no statement whether the epoll is edge-triggered or level-triggered. It only said like the one shown below. Linux Kernel 2.6<http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_53_0/doc/html/boost_asio/overview/implementation.html#boost_asio.overview.implementation.linux_kernel_2_6> Demultiplexing mechanism: Uses epoll for demultiplexing. I downloaded latest boost 1.53.0 and searched for epoll_create, epoll_wait, and many socket APIs for linux and windows but failed to find api calls for those. I expected that I would find api calls for those. 2. If it - boost.asio - doesn't call these api, how boost.asio implemens it's functions? Thank you very much.

I have some questions about boost's async IO implementation for linux.
1. Does it use edge-triggered epoll to implement the Proactor (in terms of Reactor)?
http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_53_0/doc/html/boost_asio/overview/core/async...
The guide above says that boost's Proactor is implemented in terms of Reactor when it comes to Linux.
If it is based on Reactor, I guess it should be level-triggered epoll. 2. Am I right?
Then my question is 3. Does boost use edge-triggered epoll in any kind of async IO on linux? 4. Isn't edge-triggered epoll a good method to implement async IO on
linux?
