May i second you Hiten. The DragonFly lists are particularly interesting
and you always learn things here. Personnally i don't know anything on the
subject of this thread and i have enjoyed observing and trying to understand
the arguments. Let's hope people make an effort to be civil, for the
benefit of everybody. I will add my grain of salt:
on the same subject i have enjoyed reading the papers describing the
program of André Oppermann for FreeBSD, notably
http://people.freebsd.org/~andre/Optimizing%20the%20FreeBSD%20IP%20and%20TCP%20Stack.pdf
which has intersection with points that have been discussed here.
Finally let me congratulate Matt for his work and hope best
chance of success.
