I agree SACK is useful, but like I say, I ended up in a flamewar IIRC
because people couldn't agree whether it was any good.

Alas, the FreeBSD mail archive search engine is not very good at tracking
this thread down, but I think it was on freebsd-net that I brought it up,
and it was perhaps nearly two years ago now. I was probably using a
different mail address as well. I'll try and go back and find it later this
weekend and give you a synopsis of what went on there.

Hope so. Like I say, it's one of the things I always wanted to see in
FBSD. Oh, apart from proper clustering support. ;-)
