Rump kernels host unmodified NetBSD kernel drivers, such as file systems and the TCP/IP stack, on top of a high-level hypercall interface. The hypercall interface is straightforward to implement and is available for example for userspace and the Xen hypervisor. In other words, rump kernels enable embedding unmodified kernel drivers in various environments and using the drivers as services.
