 In Section \ref{sec:filling-net} a system was presented for dynamically requesting statically specified network sockets. This system of requests back to the shim could be extended to more dynamic behaviour for software that requires it. Some software, particularly that which interfaces with the user, is not able to statically specify their requirements before starting. By specifying instead a range of requests which are legal then making them dynamically, Void Processes would be able to support more software.
