L4 microkernel familyL4 is a family of second-generation microkernels, used to implement a variety of types of operating systems (OS), though mostly for Unix-like, Portable Operating System Interface (POSIX) compliant types.

Liedtke felt that a system designed from the start for high performance, rather than other goals, could produce a microkernel of practical use.
