Well, um, yes and no. FreeBSD includes the ``NewReno'' algorithm, but it is probably not appropriate to characterize FreeBSD's TCP stack in that way. I would say that FreeBSD implementes the FreeBSD flavor of TCP, which is a unique blend of ideas from many outside efforts, and is based originally on the 4.4BSD stack. -GAWollman To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-net" in the body of the message
