I can confirm Linux 2.4 TCP/IP is faster than FreeBSD, they have
dynamic tuned TCP window, unlike we have a fixed max TCP window
set in SYSCTL. they have SACK and FACK, it is better in high speed line
than FreeBSD, it is also multi-threaded, better on SMP, someone
despise Linux should wakeup now, Linux is not so bad.
