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?"

  2. Ooooh! Mystery conclusions! by cbiffle · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I don't see how the linked document suggests the stack is sub-par. All it says is that the guy wants money to fund optimization, like PHK's done before.

    If the page started with "OMG Linux is fastar than us!" then, yes. But I don't see how you reached your conclusions based on this material.

  3. NetBSD still holds all the records by phoenix_rizzen · · Score: 2, Insightful

    All the transmission throughput speed records are held by NetBSD. Hence, it should be fairly obvious which TCP/IP stack is the best. :) Okay, maybe not the best, but definitely the fastest.

    As a finn, I'd jump to the chance to move to Norway as soon as possible, this EU nonsense is starting to resemble too much USA.
