Could you tell me > what is the rational for removing T/TCP (security/performances/code > complexity, etc ..) from FreeBSD? Have a look at the rationale here (and the followup discussion): http://docs.freebsd.org/cgi/mid.cgi?4177C8AD.6060706 And also note that T/TCP was removed only from FreeBSD 6-current. It is still in 4.x and 5.x releases and will not be removed from them. A more secure and much less (code-) intrusive replacement for T/TCP is in the works by me. I'll have code ready soon and it'll be in FreeBSD 6-current probably before christmas along with a proper RFC draft submitted to the IETF TCPM WG. -- Andre
