The little red fellow that graces this page is the BSD Daemon. Since LRP quite literally turns protocol processing in the BSD network subsystem upside down, making it receiver driven instead of interrupt driven, this picture of the daemon shows him upside down hanging on a gymnastics beam.
The earliest (and most popular) renditions of the BSD Daemon were created by John Lassiter. This image has been rendered by Gaurav Banga. The copyright holder and creator of the daemon image is Marshall Kirk McKusick. A short pictorial history is also available.
