Honestly- crafted in assembly language a file manager would not be so
large.  Consider the foundations; Ethernet driver, IP, ARP, ICMP - not
8K worth of stuff.  TCP - not much different, provided you maintain a
fixed buffer size and advertise a small window.  Much of the overhead -
code and data size - associated with TCP is directly related to
high-performance!

Even RBF weighs in at under 8K.  This will be smaller ..
