   Since I'm not too sure how to accurately determine whether or not these
exist, I grepped /usr/src/sys for it.  I found traces of "rfc1323" in
/usr/src/sys/netinet/tcp_subr.c

   Couldn't find that, but maybe natd might help you:

DESCRIPTION
     This program provides a Network Address Translation facility for use with
     divert(4) sockets under FreeBSD.  Most of the command line options are
     available in a single character short form or in a long form.  Use of the
     long form is encouraged as it makes things clearer to the casual observ-
     er.


     Natd normally runs in the background as a daemon.  It is passed raw IP
     packets as they travel into and out of the machine, and will possibly
     change these before re-injecting them back into the IP packet stream.

   There appears to be RFC1483-related material in /usr/src/sys/dev/en/midway.c

   Couldn't find rfc2001 code

   /usr/src/sys/netinet/tcp.h contains an option TCPOPT_SACK, and it says it's
experimental.
