Best TCP/IP Stack Implementation?

Posted by Cliff on from the and-the-winner-is dept.

paultantk asks: "This mailing list suggests that the FreeBSD TCP/IP stack is sub-par. It was the best in the 90's, but not anymore. So the question is, which operating system now holds the title for the best TCP/IP stack implementation?"

    In the good old days before OpenTransport and well before OSX, we had MacTCP. It was just fantastic.

  3. Best OS? by Evro · · Score: 3, Funny

    Since the TCP/IP stack is only as good as the operating system it's attached to, why don't we come right out and determine, once and for all, the best operating system ever created? I think this will be a grand, insightful discussion, completely devoid of flames.
