We have well known facts only about wcarchive, yahoo, etc., which runs FreeBSD as their main OS. The most impressive info on this topic is an article in the Science Daily online magazine where they talk about exceeding 1 Gbit threshold on a real task using FreeBSD TCP/IP stack without need to modify it.

At the moment I'm mostly focusing on userland, developing model, administrative issues and stuff like this. -- /Voland Vadim Belman E-mail: voland@plab.ku.dk To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-advocacy" in the body of the message
