Do you have a link to the thread that says sack > doesn't help? I agree SACK is useful, but like I say, I ended up in a flamewar IIRC because people couldn't agree whether it was any good. Alas, the FreeBSD mail archive search engine is not very good at tracking this thread down, but I think it was on freebsd-net that I brought it up, and it was perhaps nearly two years ago now. I was probably using a different mail address as well. I'll try and go back and find it later this weekend and give you a synopsis of what went on there. > There was a post in June on the -net mailinglist from a guy that is > working on getting SACK into -STABLE, so there's hope yet. Hope so. Like I say, it's one of the things I always wanted to see in FBSD. Oh, apart from proper clustering support. ;-) -- Paul Robinson ,--------------------------------------- Technical Director @ Akita | A computer lets you make more mistakes PO Box 604, Manchester, M60 3PR | than any other invention with the T: +44 (0) 161 228 6388 (F:6389)| possible exceptions of handguns and | Tequila - Mitch Ratcliffe `----- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
