I suggest, strongly, that whoever attempts to mess with the tcp stack
be very familiar with all the discussion that has gone on in the last
few years on these sorts of problems.  As a start, the end2end
list (majordomo@zephyr.isi.edu, subscribe end2end-interest) and the
tcp-impl list (majordomo@grc.nasa.gov, subscribe tcp-impl) and their
archives will help you avoid embarassing flubs.  Reinventing the
wheel for freebsd, while fun, is not helpful.

And of course, the BSDI folks know all about these issues.  If I'm
not smoking something, isn't there now a relationship?
