Does anyone know if Luigi's patches at http://www.iet.unipi.it/~luigi/sack.html ever got wider use than his own testing? It looks like it was written some time ago, and if people have been running it since then there might be some real world data. If it helps, it could be a win for web servers, as it appers Win98 has SACK on by default. -- Leo Bicknell - bicknell@ufp.org Systems Engineer - Internetworking Engineer - CCIE 3440 Read TMBG List - tmbg-list-request@tmbg.org, www.tmbg.org To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
