Abstract
A system is provided for multicasting an event notification from an event producer to multiple event listeners, where the event producer and event listeners exist within a computer operating system having a user space, a kernel space, a device space, and an event protocol handler located in the kernel space. The system generates an event indication from an event producer located in the user space, kernel space, or device space, and receiving the event indication in the event protocol handler and generating an event notification. The event producer and the event listeners interface with the event protocol handler to send the event indication and receive the event notification. The event listeners may be located in the user space, kernel space, or device space.
