You might want to read the following article in the FreeBSD Journal:
=
https://freebsdfoundation.org/our-work/journal/browser-based-edition/rack-=
and-alternate-tcp-stacks-for-freebsd/

There is no specific area for testing. Just test the stack on
the systems you use with the workload you use and report back
any issues...
