Its good to hear that there might be some improvments to the stack. At the moment the current TCP/IP developer has been concentrating towards features and general network use and not speed. Sooner or later its going to be unavoidable, the games are going to be developed for linux. I am a fan of the Linux ports of Quake and QuakeII and its good to see that Linux is being seen as a OS popular enough to port games to. If this is going to continue then further optimizations to any networking protocol will come as a bonus to the users.
