At some point in the future I plan to contribute this patch to the FreeBSD source tree (4.3 or later). I had a look at http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO_8859-1/books/handbook/contrib.html . With regards to the code contribution, I have the following questions: 1) Whom do I need to be in touch with as far as the SACK contribution is concerned?. I suspect that only files in the /usr/src/sys/netinet directory will be modified. 2) Given that the code I am working with is a stable release, what might possibly be the release into which the code inclusion can take place?. Would it be in a future CURRENT release, which would then get included in a future STABLE release after further testing? I would appreciate it if the appropriate persons who control code canges into the TCP stack, could reply.
