NGiNX

NGINX is a free, open-source, high-performance HTTP server and reverse proxy, as well as an IMAP/POP3 proxy server. NGINX is known for its high performance, stability, rich feature set, simple configuration, and low resource consumption. NGINX is one of a handful of servers written to address the C10K problem. Unlike traditional servers, NGINX doesn’t rely on threads to handle requests. Instead it uses a much more scalable event-driven (asynchronous) architecture. NGINX powers several high-visibility sites, such as Netflix, Hulu, Pinterest, CloudFlare, Airbnb, WordPress.com, GitHub, SoundCloud, Zynga, Eventbrite, Zappos, Media Temple, Heroku, RightScale, Engine Yard, MaxCDN and many others.

Boa Webserver TUX web server The TUX web server is an in-kernel web server for Linux licensed under the GNU General Public License (GPL). It was maintained by Ingo Molnár. The main differences between TUX and other webservers include: TUX runs partly within a customized version of the Linux kernel and partly as a userspace daemon.With a capable network card, TUX enables scatter-gather DMA from the page cache directly to the network.TUX is only able to serve static web pages. While only being able to serve static web pages could be seen as a significant disadvantage, TUX has one significant advantage: it is able to serve pages faster than traditional web servers. This is largely due to its place directly within the kernel, where it can improve performance by taking advantage of facilities not available to traditional web servers, which run outside of the kernel. TUX is capable of launching CGI programs to provide dynamic content. See also[edit] External links[edit]
