And you also don't have
net.inet.tcp.functions_default=3Drack
in /etc/sysctl.conf
This means that no TCP connection will actually use the RACK stack.

Thanks for clarifying.

Great. This makes sure that the degradation is related to TCPHPTS and
not the RACK stack.

So this test goes up from 11 seconds to 55 seconds...

This is interesting. It seems a consequence on loading TCPHPTS, not =
actually
using it.

I have CCed Drew and Randall, who know much more about HPTS and might =
have
follow up questions. I'll bring the issue up in the FreeBSD transport =
call
next Thursday.

What hardware are you using?
